New ERA
New ERA is one of the first non-government, non-profit research organization founded in 1971 and registered as a public limited company to articulate Nepalese aspirations in the development process of Nepal. As a matter of policy, New ERA reinvests all operational income into upgrading the institution and conducting further research of implementing development projects aiming to alleviate rural povertyGoal
New ERA's main goal is to provide an independent Nepalese perspective in the design, implementation and assessment of development policies & programs by employing a wide range of quantitative, qualitative and PRA methodologies.Origin and Development
- Notwithstanding its critical exclusive focus on education, the scope of New ERA's research activities quickly broadened to include other aspects of national development. By mid-1970s, New ERA was involved in projects concerning rural and human resources development, communications and women development. Later half of the 1970s saw New ERA engaged in training (language and culture) for foreign technical and volunteer agencies such as the American Peace Corps and in the implementation of Semester Abroad Program for American college students.- In early 1980s New ERA's activities expanded to newer fields like agriculture, livestock, horticulture, communications, drinking water and sanitation, forestry, environment, gender issues, human resources, migration and resettlement, population and family planning, health and nutrition, rural development and technology, socio-economics and tourism.
