چکیده
The number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in Nepal has grown significantly since the 1990s due to a range of factors.

Despite thousands of NGOs and significant amounts of foreign aid, Nepal remains one of the poorest countries in South Asia. The case of Nepal indicates that aid and donor support alone are insufficient for sustained development.
