What We Do
UMN runs two rural hospitals in Tansen (Palpa District) and Okhaldhunga, and works holistically across 10 other districts in four provinces through 14 local partner organisations.
Our thematic focus areas are Education, Health & Wellbeing, Livelihoods & Economic Transformation and Social Harmony & Protection. Across all our work, we integrate Gender Equality, Disability & Social Inclusion (GEDSI), Environmental Sustainability & Climate Resilience and Government & Civil Society Advocacy as cross-cutting priorities.
Cross-cutting Themes and Approaches
UMN’s cross-cutting issues will be integrated across all UMN activities and thematic focus areas.
Gender Equality, Disability & Social Inclusion (GEDSI)
focuses on eliminating discrimination and barriers, ensuring that marginalised groups such as women, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable populations have access to resources, services, and decision-making processes in society.
Environmental Sustainability & Climate Resilience
emphasizes the responsible management of and care for natural resources, promoting practices that safeguard ecosystems for future generations. Climate resilience focuses on enabling communities to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to the impacts of climate change, with a strong focus on disaster risk reduction.
Governance & Advocacy
seeks opportunities to collaborate with local governments to enhance participatory governance and transparency, while also supporting communities, particularly marginalised and impoverished groups, in asserting their rights.
