Learn About Us

‘Founded in 1971, New ERA is Nepal’s first non-government, non-profit research organization that specializes in data-driven policy research, technical assistance, technology transfer and training for development in Nepal. It used a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methods to provide its clients a data-based, independent, and unbiased perspective, also informed by intimate knowledge of the country that can be used to formulate, implement, and assess development policies and programs.’

Since its inception in 1971, New ERA has been dedicated to advancing Nepal’s development through high-quality research, technical assistance, and capacity-building. Our work spans diverse sectors and aims to address the country's most pressing challenges, particularly for the socially and economically disadvantaged. We remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of excellence in all our endeavors, as we have done for over five decades. As we look forward, our focus will be on optimizing our resource assets to continue influencing policies and improving the lives of the Nepali people.
