摘要
Despite its three-decade history, social work lacks professional status in Nepal. Drawing on authors' own critical reflection, this article documents strategies to advance social work's professional status through a process of social legitimation. Following a brief discussion of social work in Nepal, it reports on issues pertinent to, and efforts, thus far, to professionalise social work noting strategies to advance professional identity, status and recognition in Nepal.
