Nexus Between Foreign Remittances and Women’s Empowerment in Rural Bangladesh
This study examines the impact of male out-migration and foreign remittances on women’s empowerment in rural Bangladesh, focusing on left-behind wives in migrant households (MHs). Drawing on a mixed-methods case study approach across two distinct rural districts, the research investigates how control over remittances influences women’s autonomy, mobility and decision-making power. Anchored in Kabeer’s empowerment framework and Sen’s capability ap…
Scalar politics of Indigenous waterscapes in Navajo Nation and Nepal
We use case studies of the Diné in the United States of America, and the Musahar people in Nepal, to understand how indigeneity is enacted in relation to the developmental and conservationist impulses of the dominant American and Nepalese states. We mobilize the concept of 'waterscapes' as assemblages of practices, technologies, emotions and worldviews, to unpack how geographical scales are produced and contested through symbolic and material pra…

Climate change and equitable urban water management
Anthropogenic climate change is creating numerous challenges for rapidly urbanising countries. Foremost among these challenges is securing potable water for the urban population, while at times, mitigating flood risks. This article presents research on urban water issues in the rapidly growing city of Dhulikhel in Nepal within a global purview of climate change processes and impacts on urban water. The vulnerabilities to climate change are extrem…
Contested forest management and the Nepalese Government’s forest policy
Greening Sydney
Understanding people’s attitudes towards the urban forest is crucial to advance sustainability goals and for proposing policy changes in local governments. With global cities such as Sydney becoming highly multi-cultural, it is vital for local governments in cities to be responsive to the diverse voices and interests of their residents. This paper investigates attitudes of people from different socio-economic backgrounds and thereby identifies ba…

Can Evidence and Voice Influence Policy? A Critical Assessment of Nepal's Forestry Sector Strategy, 2014
This article examines Nepal's recently prepared Forestry Sector Strategy (FSS) (as of 2014) in terms of the use of scientific evidence and the quality of stakeholder participation. By reviewing the content and analyzing the context of its development during 2012–2014, we found that the transitional politics and overt influence of international development agencies dominated the process and content of the FSS. Although the FSS was developed throug…
Ethnomedicinal practices in the highlands of central Nepal
Diversity of use and local knowledge of wild edible plant resources in Nepal
Background Wild edible plants (WEP) provide staple and supplement foods, as well as cash income to local communities, thus favouring food security. However, WEP are largely ignored in land use planning and implementation, economic development, and biodiversity conservation. Moreover, WEP-related traditional knowledge is rapidly eroding. Therefore, we designed this study to fulfill a part of the knowledge gap by providing data on diversity, tradit…
Non-timber Forest Products in Bardiya District of Nepal
This article scopes the status and potential of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in community forests and the national forest of Bardiya district in western Nepal. The human ecological approach, participatory rural appraisal, focus group discussions and interviews were used to gather data and information for analysis. The results of the data analysis indicate that the area harbours a high diversity of potential NTFPs. Altogether, 101 species an…
