Foreword The Association of International NGOs (AIN) Membership Report is an occasional publication, last produced in 2004. This report presents a brief profile of each INGO member affiliated with the AIN, an informal network of INGOs working in Nepal. AIN has come together to promote mutual understanding, exchange information and share experiences and learning of INGOs’ work for better collaboration. We are proud to state that there has been an increase in the AIN membership from 50 members in 2004 to 68 in 2007. Working in a wide range of issues and sectors, poverty alleviation and sustainable development have been leading objectives of AIN members. The political conflict and instability in the country since 1996 to early 2006 drastically hindered development efforts. However, AIN members have continued their work with commitment and vigour despite the many challenges and impediments faced during the conflict. Being an umbrella organisation, AIN has been profound in making use of its resources for consolidated efforts to development in Nepal. Some of the key initiatives of AIN were policy research studies in areas related to the PRSP, MDG and Conflict; policy discourses with stakeholders including the government for advocacy on various issues; and, support to government agencies such as the Social Welfare Council in matters relating to INGOs and development in the country. In 2006, AIN published the report, “AIN’s Contribution towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)” which reveals AIN’s high priority to the MDGs. Likewise, another compilation entitled “Expanding the Space For Development by INGOs during Nepal’s Transition Process” was published, which draws learning and recommendations from experiences of AIN members to addressing dialogue, transparency & networking in conflict situations. AIN’s commitment is also indicated by the total budget of its members amounting to more than Rs. 7,000.00 million, which works out to 17% of the total pledged foreign aid for the fiscal year 2006/07. With the advent of a historical turn in Nepal’s politics, the country is going through transformative changes, politically and socially. As one of the primary actors, AIN is committed to just, democratic and socially inclusive development in Nepal. This membership report has been produced for all AIN members, our partners, Government of Nepal, civil society and those interested to learn about our work in Nepal and to provide a consolidated source of information on AIN members.
