As the leading UN agency for the promotion of peace, progress and prosperity through international cooperation in education, the sciences, culture, communication and information, UNESCO has made a significant contribution to Nepal’s development in all of these areas. Its leadership and support have helped to mainstream these fi ve core areas into national policies and programmes.Over the years, UNESCO has become a reliable partner for both the government and a great number of civil society organizations to assist in strategy and policy development in education, natural sciences, culture, and communication and information. The Kathmandu Offi ce works mostly at the upstream level and focuses on selected target areas and population groups implementing UNESCO’s main functions as a laboratory of ideas, a standard-setter, a clearing house, a capacity builder and a catalyst
for international cooperation. As the country is engaged in a challenging peace and development process, UNESCO has develop a comprehensive cooperation programme for Nepal.
