Message from Chairperson

This gives me immense pleasure to write a few words on the occasion of ISET-Nepal successfully completing seventeen years of outstanding work in the area of research and policy advocacy in Nepal. In addition to research, ISET–Nepal has now advanced further in 2018 with a new avenue of implementing project: Disaster Risk Reduction with an aim to translate research into policy actions. The extension has provided new challenges as well as opportunities for the organization to closely work with Government’s policy level institutions including Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration (MoFAGA), Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA), and Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD). Similarly, ISET-Nepal is also working with locally elected representatives of different wards of Metropolitan Office of Lalitpur and Kathmandu to build awareness and improve level of understanding of Disaster Risk Management in addition to providing support for building their capacities to manage and deal with disaster events.
