Challanges

Despite some positive initiation Nepalese PWDs have been facing following challenges:

• The high level planners, policy makers and government authorities and other responsible persons are unaware on disability issues.

• There are no legal provisions for all types of accessibility.

• There is no system within the government to allocate national budget for disability sectors.

• Disable Protection and Welfare Act-1982 and other legal provisions are not enough, non obligatory and not bring into the practice.

• National and International laws and legislations are not still implemented.

• Negative attitudes of society towards disabilities are still very high.

• Disability is still taken as a sin of past life, curse of God and burden on family and society.

• Government agencies are not paying due attention in implementing the formulated rules and regulations regarding the promotion of PWDs.

• Most of the people have misconception that the PWDs are unproductive for the house, family, society and nation.

• Services provided by DPOs, GOs, NGOs and INGOs are still on charity based.

• There are not any provisions to provide services for the PWDs to integrate in the community.
