The Association of International NGOs (AIN), formed by INGOs working in Nepal in September 1996, is an important actor in the development sector of Nepal as it has been implementing various people-centered development programmes throughout the hills, mountains and Terai areas.

AIN has come together to promote mutual understanding, exchange information and share experiences and learning of our work in Nepal for more effective collaboration.

At present the AIN comprises more than 70 INGOs, working on a wide-range of issues and sectors to contribute to development efforts in Nepal.

Recognising the growing need to work in a country afflicted by endemic conflict, AIN is committed to expand its resources on behalf of all disadvantaged people in Nepal, especially those affected by the ongoing struggle.

Over the years INGOs have played a crucial role as key stakeholders and partners in the development of Nepal and we would like to continue to engage with the Government, donors,various sectors of the civil society, NGOs and poor and excluded people on these issues.
