At the Institute for Rural Development (IRD), we believe that sustainable progress is only possible through meaningful collaboration. Our partners share our vision for equity, access, and opportunity—and together, we are building bridges between dreams and reality in rural Nepal.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of the Government of Nepal is responsible for conducting and coordinating Nepal's foreign policy, managing diplomatic relations, and representing Nepal's interests internationally.
IRD's partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reflects a shared commitment to engaging Nepal's diaspora and international networks in the service of rural development, democratic participation, and national progress.
