Advocacy and lobbying for the common interests of the municipalities is the prime responsibility of MuAN. Among others, it is therefore currently concentrating on three major issues: 1. Ensuring a constitutional provision for autonomous local self-governments. 2. The scheduling of overdue local elections. 3. The establishment of autonomous metro-cities and urban governments in the federal structure of Nepal. Throughout the past decade rampant and haphazard urbanization significantly challenged the responsibilities for development and service delivery at the municipal level in Nepal. Accordingly the roles and functions of MuAN have significantly expanded in order to cater to these newly evolved needs for support and representation of the municipalities. In this context, MuAN in consultation with its members as well as national and international partners has developed a transitional strategy which includes a revised corporate identity and clear goals for each of the three working areas.
