Nepal
For 25 years in Nepal, we collaborated with communities, civil society, the private sector, the government and international development partners to strengthen the citizen-state relationship for open, inclusive, and accountable federal governance to sustain peace.
We worked with marginalised peoples, security and justice actors, and the government to transform harmful social and gender norms and enhance inclusive access to justice and public services.
We supported journalists and social media activists to promote and advocate for a safe, responsible, independent, and evidence-based media. We helped national and international development partners deliver aid in a conflict and gender sensitive way.
We also undertook research on security and justice, the interrelation between climate change and conflict, federal governance processes, and sexual and gender-based violence to advocate for and contribute to evidence-based policies and programmes.
We worked to promote sustainable peace and create conditions for inclusion and building public trust in governance processes, social cohesion, and co-existence across social divides.
We worked in Nepal from 2001 to 2026, a summary of our work there can be found in A legacy of learning: lessons from 25 years of peacebuilding in Nepal.
