NGOs in Nepal

Collected by: Cornell University Library

Archived since: Oct, 2018

Description:

Throughout recorded history, Nepal has nestled between the giant cultural formations of India to the south and China/Tibet to the north. With the globalization of modern times, international interests and concerns draw Nepal into contact with more distant corners of the world. There are now a multitude of non-governmental organizations at work in Nepal, many headquartered in the Kathmandu Valley. Some are international NGOs and some are purely Nepali, some are long running and some are startups. All of the websites archived here are NGO self-presentations of their aspirations and their achievements on various fronts—humanitarian, environmental, economic, political, religious, and more.

Title: COPPADES, Committee for the Promotion of Public Awareness and Development Studies

URL: https://coppades.org.np/

Description: COPPADES was established in 1990. "COPPADES’ focus has been on eliminating gender disparity, caste discrimination, and other areas that continue the trend of providing development results to only those that have access to things already. COPPADES tried to eliminate all forms of discrimination through good governance, improvement of rural environment through forestry and other energy saving tools and techniques such as improved cooking stoves, micro hydro and so on and improving the lives of the people through teaching them to become more money profiting by using new irrigation, farming techniques and other marketing and profit making strategies. COPPADES has always been careful about gender disparity, caste discrimination and bad governance practices." - from website, 2018.10.24
