Mediation

Improving access to justice for the Nepalese populace represents one of the major objectives of PPR Nepal. For this purpose, PPR Nepal, in coordination with the Mediation Committee of the Supreme Court of Nepal, concerned district courts and local Bar units, supported the establishment of a Court Referred Mediation System in Appellate and District Courts. It conducts series of trainings on court referred mediation in different parts of the country. Hereby, the trained persons were subsequently enlisted as mediators in the concerned courts. Furthermore, PPR Nepal initiated the formation of a national level network of trained mediators which is headed by a former judge of the Supreme Court of Nepal.
