This policy paper explains the context of the brick industry in Nepal; laws and policies related to its management; and how these are changing in the new federal context. A legal analysis of policy gaps and responsibilities designated to the new local governments is meant to be of interest to local leaders as well as policy makers at the provincial, and federal level supporting them. This paper also provides recommendations for emerging issues to attend to and practical recommendations for ways forward to reduce labor exploitation and child labor and ensure effective industry insight.
