IDS Nepal is comprised of a diverse array of scholars, energetic professionals, and experts from the field \u2013 all focused on strengthening the capacity of the organization. IDS Nepal currently employs 60 staff, 20 of which are female. There are, additionally, more than 50 resource persons who contribute in its headquarters and district offices as consultants in their respective fields of expertise.<\/p>

The organization is governed by a General Assembly of 43 members, which is then operationally regulated by the Executive Board. The General Assembly is held each year as per the constitution of the organization.<\/p>

IDS Nepal has a unique organizational structure in that each Project has a designated Management Team who possesses the autonomy to make all decisions associated with said project. The decentralized nature of IDS Nepal\u2019s organizational structure ensures quicker decision-making and encourages a bottom-up approach. Meanwhile, the various Management Teams are still supported and operationally regulated by the Executive Board so as to ensure efficiency and coordination.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
