About CGGAP
Centre for Good Governance and Peace (CGGAP) is a non-profit, non-political, and non-governmental organization based in Kathmandu, Nepal that works in the sector of peacebuilding, good governance, conflict resolution and youth empowerment. It was founded by a group of young professionals and human rights & governance activists aspired to preventing, managing, and resolving conflict through alternative and creative means. It was established as a loose network in 2016.
CGGAP is also involved in research, dissemination and deliberation on Nepal's peace and development process. Moreover, we engage in action-oriented research, policy influencing, documentation, information sharing, strategic dialogue, networking and partnership building. We also collaborate with partners and donors to achieve our objectives. We work for establishing sustainable peace and good governance in Nepal and partner with organizations on projects in line with peace building, good governance and people's rights.
