The year 2013 has been a stepping stone for National Campaign for Education
(NCE –Nepal) to build as a leading civil society organization in the country. It
has been becoming an effective platform for bringing all education stakeholders
together including government, development partners, international/national
non-governmental organizations, media, corporate sector and all others
involving in education.
The coalition has adopted a strategy to work with the government, DPs, UN
Agencies and INGOs as a collaborative partner to deal with the common
educational issues and critical support for the same as required. Our endeavors
are geared towards achieving the end result through series of spiral activities.
The coalition is not a panacea to the problem of public education today in
Nepal. It is, however, an essential platform for the civil society organizations;
working in the education sector to ensure right to quality education for each
individual citizen of the country in real sense.
Encouraging progress has been made this year through strengthening the
capacity of its board and members and carried out research and advocacy. It
has extended its members and network in country and abroad.
The annual report embraces all the major activities took place in the year
2013; including policy advocacy, research, and capacity enhancement of its
member organization, networking and campaigning at the grassroots, national
and international levels. It also includes achievements, lesson learnt and way
forward.
The accomplishments of the year are the result of collaborative endeavors of all
individuals and organizations. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity
to extend my sincere appreciation to the people, government, development
partners, collaborative and strategic partners, network organizations, and
NCE-Nepal’s coalition members ranging from local to central levels, NCENepal’s board members, secretariat and volunteers of the organization for their
unremitting support and team spirit.
