The Ministry of Women, Children, Gender and Sexual Minorities, and Social Security has issued a public notice inviting applications from qualified Nepali citizens for inclusion in its sectoral expert roster. According to the notice published on Ashoj 2, 2083 BS, the ministry aims to establish a pool of experienced professionals to provide specialized services in policy formulation, planning, program design, research, studies, monitoring and evaluation, capacity development, and technical consultancy. The roster will support the ministry’s regular activities by identifying experts who can contribute their professional knowledge and experience whenever specialized assistance is required.
The ministry has identified 12 areas of expertise for the roster, including women, children, senior citizens, disability, gender and sexual minorities, social security, Indigenous nationalities, Dalit communities, Madhesi communities, Muslims, socially marginalized groups, and other relevant sectors. Applicants must possess at least a bachelor’s degree from a recognized educational institution and a minimum of five years of professional experience in the relevant field. Eligible candidates are required to submit copies of their Nepali citizenship certificate, academic qualifications, updated curriculum vitae (CV), details of relevant studies or research publications, and supporting documents demonstrating their professional expertise.
Interested individuals were instructed to apply within seven days of the notice’s publication, with the final submission deadline set for Ashoj 8, 2083 BS. Applications could be submitted through the ministry’s prescribed online form at https://forms.gle/TytDNg2pP487a3j97 or physically through the ministry’s designated submission process. The notice states that applications received after the deadline would not be processed. A sample application form attached to the notice outlines the required personal information, address, educational qualifications, areas of expertise, research experience, supporting documents, and applicant declarations.
The ministry clarified that inclusion in the expert roster does not automatically guarantee employment, consultancy assignments, or financial benefits. Applications will be reviewed based on qualifications, experience, and supporting documents before eligible professionals are enlisted. When specialized services are needed, the ministry may select suitable experts from the roster in accordance with applicable laws and procedures. It may also obtain references from relevant government bodies, public institutions, educational establishments, and professional organizations. Through this initiative, the ministry seeks to improve access to specialized expertise and strengthen evidence-based policymaking, research, program evaluation, and institutional capacity across its expanding areas of responsibility.
