Description/notes

Nepal Development Initiative (NEDI) was founded as a non-profit, non-political social development organization in 2003. NEDI aims to uplift marginalized communities by involving, informing, and empowering them on social entrepreneurship, responsible sustainable businesses, social economy and value-driven economic development. It intends to create an enabling environment for the promotion of social entrepreneurship and social economy so that the community benefit from increased employment opportunities, prosperity and dignified life. Social enterprises contribute to the generation of social capital along with economic capital and promote the social economy. This facet of social enterprises signifies its importance for developing countries like Nepal where there is a newly growing fascination with the concept of social enterprises. Social enterprises can be a good model to seek to strike a balance between environmental concerns, economic growth and community engagement in Nepal. Further Social enterprises can also become a handy tool for service providers to underprivileged groups in Nepal ensuring financial sustenance of the service provision. This organization is promoting a green economy and a circular economy to protect the earth.
