Mid-career government officials and academicians have been oriented on the evidences of trends, patterns and future directions of population dynamics in Nepal and their use as guidance for demonstrating development results.
At a workshop organized by Central Department of Population Studies/Tribhuvan University in collaboration with the Population Division under the Ministry of Health and Population and UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, they learned how to identify and select evidence based population and development related indicators to be integrated in policy and programming.
