DEPROSC-Nepal Building a Better Tomorrow Together

DEPROSC-Nepal, is one the leading non-government, not for profit, development organizations in Nepal, established on 26 September 1993 under “Association Registration act 1978”. Putting our main thrust into poverty reduction, we work in an integrated approach trying to create balance between social and economic prosperity. Effective participation, coordination, inclusion, transparency, accountability and neutrality are our major strengths. We work primarily with the poorest people and communities, and within those, we are more inclined towards the most vulnerable and overlooked; geographically and socially excluded, marginalized and discriminated populations.

DEPROSC-Nepal has its central office in Kathmandu, Nepal which looks after programs across the country and supervise programs in Bagmati Province and Gandaki Province. The office in Biratnagar handles all project in Koshi Province and Madhesh Province and the office in Nepalgunj looks after Lumbini Province, Karnali Province and Sudurpashchim Province.

DEPROSC-Nepal has strongly contributed in microfinance’s sector development of the country by providing direct lending services and promoting microfinance/ cooperatives in the hills. It has promoted two national level microfinance financial institutions, namely: DEPROSC-Nepal Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha and NADEP Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha (Microfinance Banks). The two institutions are serving over 200,000 families at present. In addition, DEPROSC-Nepal’s contribution is significant in construction/rehabilitation of community infrastructures, facilitation to take over government fallow land by communities for cultivation and vegetation, linking of agriculture producers with city markets, and humanitarian response during national emergencies.
