Sahakarya is a civil society initiative, started as non-political and non- religious
movement with the mission of 'working together for a just society'. The initiative
has been registered with the Government of Nepal (GoN) as a Non- Governmental
Organisation (NGO) in June 2004.
Sahakarya has been formed with the strengths from a seven year long initiative that
was funded by UK Department for International Development (DFID) and managed by
Action Aid, Plan International and Overseas Development Group of UK on capacity
building of NGOs and Community Based Organisations (CBOs) in Nepal starting from
April 1997. Hence, Sahakarya stands on its competencies of capacity strengthening,
particularly on organisational, service delivery, governance and knowledge management
capacities of the local bodies, private and non-governmental organisations.
Sahakarya aims to enhance the institutional capacity of NGOs, local government bodies
and civil society organizations working with/for poor and excluded sections of society
by organising and enabling them to claim their rights. Sahakarya directly works in eight
districts of Nepal and more than 100 NGOs and 400 Community Based Organisations (CBOs)
besides its occasional involvement beyond them.
Sahakarya has realised that the civil society in Nepal needs to be independent in skills and
competencies and also in generating new ideas, empowering right holders, ensuring good
governance and sustaining the changes in Nepal. Therefore, reducing dependency of civil
society organisations on donors and identifying their role for social change are the
major challenges. Similarly discriminatory social systems, disparity in social behaviour,
bad governance, inadequate respect to basic human rights, and poor distribution of
resources are the other associated issues that civil society organisations have been
facing.
