The Governance Spectrum. October 2025

Quarterly Review of Events and Trends. Issue 12

The Governance Spectrum is a periodic publication by GMC Nepal released every four months. This publication attempts to identify, record and analyze events related to conflicts, disputes, or tensions that occur across Nepal’s four key governance domains: Political System and Governance, Natural Resources and Environmental Governance, Developmental Governance, and Ethnocultural Governance.

To identify and document such events, GMC Nepal regularly monitors 12 national and provincial newspapers.

This report highlights key governance conflicts observed in the previous four months (June 2025 to September 2025) and a set of recommendations as potential avenues to resolve those conflicts.
