What we believe in

SNV is dedicated to a society where all people enjoy the freedom to pursue their own sustainable development. We contribute to this by strengthening the capacity of local organisations.

How we strive to achieve this

With our motto ‘Connecting people’s capacities’ in mind, every day more than 50 SNV advisors in Nepal call forth their idealism and proven expertise in support of local organisations that have the potential to make a significant contribution to Nepal's future and development. 

Our advisors are on the ground to listen, connect, advise, facilitate and exchange expertise. Our support is aimed at promoting sustainable development to realise effective poverty reduction and good governance by means of: 

• Improving access, coverage and quality of basic services.
• Generating production, income and employment opportunities
