The National Policy Forum (NPF) is Nepal's first and premier student-led think tank organization dedicated to educating, informing, and empowering citizens through policy research and effective advocacy. We are a pro-growth, pro-reform, and pro-people institution that places students and young researchers at the vanguard of national policy discourse to encourage intergenerational collaboration for bold reforms, sustained progress and enduring impact.
We at NPF believe that democracies are strengthened only when the people are empowered. Our mission is to work with the public to understand what works and shape what matters. NPF brings forward innovative ideas and solutions through research and effective policy designs to respond to the most pressing needs of our societies. We envision plans, dialogues and actions for national prosperity and nation building with the people, for the people.
Nepal has 96% electrification, yet 66% of the country still relies on firewood. Only 0.5% of households use electricity for cooking due to poor grid reliability and high costs. To meet 2030 targets, Nepal must shift from "connecting wires" to making clean energy affordable and reliable.

NepalтАЩs digital growth is booming, but accessibility is lagging. Despite heavy traffic, 96% of federal websites fail international disability standards, and limited language options exclude millions. To bridge this gap, Nepal must move beyond basic digitization and enforce inclusive design to ensure its public platforms serve every citizen equally.
Our dedicated team from across Nepal brings together a wealth of expertise and accomplishments in research, analysis, and publishing. At NPF, we are committed to driving informed public discourse and fostering active citizenship across Nepal.
