The objective of the study was to understand how investment in urban construction and its concurrent demand for labour is giving rise to new and varied temporal forms of migration.
This study identified and mapped rural micro-enterprises set up by migrant returnees (male and female), young returnees, and returnees from India, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the US/Europe in five districts of Nepal; assessed the manner in which remittances are being channelled into existing rural micro-enterprises;
The objective of the study was to analyse current trends and patterns of migration and provide an assessment of the roles and activities of government and private organisations in relation to the existing policies and systems directed at information, preparation, and recruitment of labour migrants. It was expected that the assessment will inform recommendations directed at policies, strategies and interventions that need to be developed or strengthened in Nepal in order to facilitate and improve support mechanisms for labour migrants.
CESLAM was involved in a study on migrant workers’ access to justice, a joint collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, the University of New South Wales, and the Open Society Foundations’ International Migration Initiative.
Conducted in collaboration with the University of Oxford, this survey was undertaken in an effort to shed light on the nuances in the facts and figures on migration from the Tarai region, which national surveys (NLSS, NLFS, census) have not been able to do satisfactorily. A population census of three VDCs in Parsa district was undertaken focusing particularly on acquiring information pertaining to migration.
The main objective of the study was to outline the situation of the labour market in Nepal, highlighting the key constraints and challenges related to employment-centric growth, and providing recommendations for the formulation of the new employment policy.
The research examined the nexus between transnational migratory flows, gender equity and the governance of forests through case studies from Nepal. Despite the importance of migration for rural livelihoods and the country’s GDP, community forestry policies are still underpinned by the notion that rural households are socially and physically bounded.
The objective of the study was to identify potential areas of migration in Nepal with linkages to GIZ’s bilateral programmes in Nepal, Inclusive Development of the Economy (INCLUDE) and Trade Promotion Program (TPP), assess risks and opportunities for both programmes to tap into a select number of districts in western Nepal. The study also provided recommendations on how to incorporate and implement the findings of the study into the framework of the two programmes.
The study was designed to assess the role of circular labour migration in building household level adaptive capacity and community resilience to environmental and socio-economic changes in Nepal, with a special focus on the mountains and mid-hills. The study was conducted in three districts in the Koshi sub-basin of eastern Nepal.
In partnership with the South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE), CESLAM was contracted by a consortium of three European development institutes, the German Development Institute (DIE), Bonn; the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM), Maastricht; and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), London, to contribute to the European Report on Development (ERD).

The overall objective of the project was to compile and critically analyse the existing state of knowledge on different forms of human trafficking and forced labour existing in Nepal and how this affects different groups of people within and outside the country. To fulfil the objective, extensive literature review and consultations with different stakeholders - government officials, policy-makers; practitioners, rights activists and journalists; representatives of national and international NGOs; and representatives of international organisations was carried out in Kathmandu as well as in four districts of western and far western Nepal.
