Welcome to Nepal Democracy

This site provides information on Nepali politics, government and civil society. It also aims to serve as a resource and transit site for the subject areas such as civic education, human rights, caste and ethnicity, gender and women, conflict resolution and media.

This site has been launched by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Nepal Office. FES is working in Nepal since 1995 focussing mainly on democratization, media development, trade union development and promotion of regional co-operation in South-Asia.

The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) is a German non-governmental and non-profit foundation based in Bonn and Berlin in the Federal Republic of Germany. Committed to the basic values of social democracy -- freedom, social justice, and solidarity -- the Foundation was established in 1925. It carries the name of Friedrich Ebert, the first democratically elected President of the German Weimar Republic.
