Nepal Policy and Action Centre

About Us

An independent, expert-driven platform mobilizing Nepal's collective expertise. We complement state capacity through evidence-based policy design and implementation.

Who We Are

Our Identity

Nepal Policy and Action Centre (NEPAC) brings together grassroots practitioners, scientists, national professionals, and global experts united by a shared commitment to evidence-based governance.

Our mandate is clear: complement state capacity, not replace it. We support government institutions with rigorous research, independent analysis, and real-world pilot implementations.

Every output we produce is peer-reviewed, publicly accessible, and designed to serve the broader public interest.
