Reflecting on our journey and planning for the future, the Citizenship Affected People's Network (CAPN) recently held its Strategic Planning Retreat in partnership with the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI).

The retreat brought together CAPN's board members, management, and staff to reflect on the organization's journey, revisit its purpose and strategic priorities, and collectively shape the foundation for CAPN's next strategic plan. Through participatory discussions and interactive exercises, the team explored organizational values, strategic prioritization, Theory of Change, leadership development, and the future direction of CAPN's key initiatives, including STAND and the Sahayatri Initiative.

The retreat reaffirmed CAPN's commitment to remaining a community-centred and values-driven organization, with affected individuals at the heart of its advocacy, programmes, and decision-making. It also strengthened a shared vision for building a more resilient, sustainable, and impactful organization that continues to advance gender-equal citizenship laws and promote the rights and dignity of citizenship-affected individuals across Nepal.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI), particularly Amal de Chickera and Shahd Qanam, for their thoughtful facilitation, strategic guidance, and continued accompaniment throughout this important process. We also thank every CAPN team member for their openness, commitment, and valuable contributions that will shape the organization's next chapter.

Together, we move forward with greater clarity, stronger collaboration, and a renewed commitment to ensuring that everyone enjoys the right to a nationality.

Today, CAPN celebrates 5 years of advancing the right to citizenship, dignity, and inclusion.

What began as a collective vision has grown into a movement driven by the courage of citizenship-affected individuals, the dedication of our team, the support of our partners, and the strength of our community. Over the past five years, we have advocated for legal and policy change, amplified the voices of citizenship-affected individuals, raised awareness, and provided direct support to those navigating complex citizenship and legal identity challenges. Through our Sahayatri Initiative, we have walked alongside individuals and families with guidance, referrals, and community-based support, ensuring they do not face these journeys alone.

As we mark this milestone, we celebrate not only how far we've come, but also the people who have made this journey possible. Thank you to every individual, community member, partner, supporter, and ally who has stood with us and believed in our mission.

Here's to five years of impact, solidarity, and hope—and to continuing the journey toward equal citizenship and belonging for all.

"नागरिकता प्राप्तिमा स्थानीय तहको भूमिका" विषयक दुई दिने अन्तरक्रियात्मक कार्यक्रमको दोस्रो दिन व्यावहारिक अनुभव, केस-आधारित छलफल तथा समाधानमुखी संवादमा केन्द्रित रह्यो। कार्यक्रममा ललितपुर महानगरपालिकाकी उपमेयर मान्जली शाक्य बज्राचार्यज्यूको उपस्थिति रहेको थियो। उहाँले नागरिकता तथा व्यक्तिगत घटना दर्ता सेवामा संवेदनशील, उत्तरदायी र सेवामुखी दृष्टिकोण अपनाउँदै कुनै पनि नागरिक कागजातको अभावका कारण आफ्नो आधारभूत अधिकारबाट वञ्चित हुन नहुनेमा जोड दिनुभयो।

दोस्रो दिन ललितपुर महानगरपालिकाका १५-२९ वडाका वडा सदस्य तथा वडा सचिवहरूले नागरिकता सिफारिस, जन्मदर्ता, नाता प्रमाणित तथा व्यक्तिगत घटना दर्तासम्बन्धी वास्तविक केसहरूमा आधारित छलफल गर्दै सेवा प्रवाहमा देखिएका चुनौती, असल अभ्यास र समाधानका उपायहरू साझा गरेका थिए। सहभागीहरूबीच भएको अनुभव आदानप्रदानले स्थानीय तहबीच समन्वय, साझा सिकाइ तथा नागरिकमैत्री सेवा प्रवाहलाई अझ प्रभावकारी बनाउने प्रतिबद्धतालाई थप सुदृढ बनाएको छ।
