Empowering Local Governments in Nepal to Promote Sanitation in their Communities

UCLG ASPAC in close collaboration with its partners, under the framework of “Municipalities Network Advocacy in Sanitation in South Asia”, has identified five municipalities in Nepal for the implementation of the Sanitation programme.
