Nepal Institute for Policy Research (NIPoRe) is an independent and non-partisan research institute based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Our mission is to generate evidence-based debates among citizens and critical stakeholders in both the public and private sectors on contemporary policy issues from Nepal and Asia. We work on high policy priority areas through four research centers: the Center for New Economy and Inequality (CNEI), the Center for Strategic Affairs (CSA), the Center for Governance Studies (CGS), and the Center for Human Development (CHD).

Our team members represent diverse academic disciplines, professional backgrounds, and geographical locations. We adopt a multi-disciplinary approach in our analysis, supported by researchers trained at universities and professional environments across the globe. With a focus on minimizing policy-practice gaps, we have conducted research on a range of high-priority public policy issues, including economic policy, COVID-19, federalism, trade and investment, infrastructure development, poverty, inequality, FinTech, and HealthTech.

As Nepal and other Asian economies work towards post-pandemic recovery, we continue to collaborate with partners and researchers to support key policy stakeholders in those countries. Partner with us and join our roster of experts to contribute to evidence-based policy development
