PSD bridges the gap
PSD Nepal has over 20 years of experience, at work in rural Nepal.
We work as an implementation partner for significant projects. We help broker local relationships with CDOs and rural municipalities. We can offer specialised assistance for community engagement, local motivation, and rural activation. We are specialists in education, health, climate finance, resilience activities, post-disaster reconstruction, and waste management. In a nutshell: PSD helps to bridge the gap and facilitate on-the-ground action in and across Nepal.
Who We Are
Partnership for Sustainable Development (PSD) bridges the gap.
PSD builds capacity in the poorest and most vulnerable communities in Nepal, notably amongst rural communities, school children, women's co-operatives, and disadvantaged groups. Functioning as an intermediary organization between the 'haves' and the 'have not's', PSD serves to link Nepal with international grants, donors, and fundraising projects. PSD is a non-governmental, social development organization.
