Abstract

The primary focus of this research article is to assess current management practices in the NGO sector of Nepal and make recommendations to improve capacities of NGOs within a strategic management capacity building framework. Based on the needs assessment for an NGO capacity building training grant project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development that trained 345 NGO leaders across Nepal, surveys, interviews with prominent NGO leaders, and observations on Nepal’s NGO sector over the past decade, this article provides an analysis and applicable management solutions for a stronger NGO sector.
