“The A2J Project is being implemented under the leadership of Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs (MoLJPA), with support of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP),” the press note reads, adding that the project has been partnering with different key stakeholders that include business organisations, civil society and academia to raise awareness on business and human rights issues in Nepal with particular emphasis on UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. “FNCCI president Bhawani Rana and national project director and joint secretary of the MoLJPA Phanindra Gautam signed the MoU on behalf of their respective organisations.”
