Our Executive Director's Message
Dear Friends, Partners, and Supporters,
It is my honor to extend greetings on behalf of the National Forum for Advocacy Nepal (NAFAN). Since 2004, NAFAN has been committed to empowering marginalized communities, promoting human rights, and fostering sustainable development in Nepal. We believe that true change is rooted in the grassroots — in communities empowered to advocate for their rights and shape their own futures.
Our work focuses on social inclusion, gender equality, environmental conservation, and equitable management of natural resources. Through advocacy, community programs, and capacity-building initiatives, we strive to ensure that every voice is heard and that communities can participate actively in decision-making processes affecting their lives.
Challenges such as social inequity, environmental degradation, and the marginalization of vulnerable groups demand collective action. NAFAN works hand in hand with local communities, government agencies, and civil society partners to build resilient, informed, and empowered communities that can lead sustainable development initiatives.
As we move forward, our vision remains clear: a Nepal that is just, inclusive, and sustainable. I invite all friends, supporters, and partners to join us in this journey. Together, we can create meaningful change and a brighter future for all Nepali communities.
Bhola Bhattarai
Executive Director, NAFAN
