About the organization

Accountability Lab Nepal

NGO / INGO / Development Projects

Gairidhara, Kathmandu

Accountability Lab Nepal was founded in early 2012 as an effort to work with young people to develop new ideas for accountability, transparency, and open government. It has evolved into a global network of local Accountability Labs that are finding new ways to shift societal norms, solve intractable challenges and build “unlikely networks” for change.

Background

Accountability Lab is a growing “translocal network” with over 100 staff across 12 countries around the world. The Lab has been registered as a non-profit organization in Nepal for over 10 years. Accountability Lab Nepal was the first of our network Labs to open in 2012.

The Lab has implemented a variety of projects and programs around issues of youth leadership, democracy, governance, anti-corruption, and elections. These programs have collectively mobilized and engaged millions of citizens behind reform processes and have led to a variety of concrete changes in policies, practices, and behaviors related to these issues. The Lab prides itself on its positive, solution-oriented approaches; an emphasis on building what we call “unlikely networks”; and a focus on south-south learning over time. In 2018, the Accountability Lab won the International Anti-Corruption Award from the UN Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption Center (ROLACC).

Accountability Lab Nepal (ALN) is a local organization with 15 core staff, 15 community frontline activists (CFAs), and more than 500 volunteers across the seven provinces of Nepal. ALN has engaged more than 1.5 million people directly including more than 5,000 government representatives through initiatives like Integrity Icon, the Integrity School, and Gov-HER-nance.

Our Vision is a world in which citizens are active, leaders are responsible and institutions are accountable. It is a world in which resources are used wisely, decisions benefit everyone fairly, and people lead secure lives. Our Mission is to make governance work for people through three core areas of work:

Value shifting campaigns- Shifting norms and behaviors around issues of accountability to ensure that integrity becomes the expected behavior within societies;
Efforts to equip reformers for collective action- training and collaborative spaces inside and outside government- to provide reformers with the knowledge and tools they need to push for better governance; and
Programs to influence policies, processes, and practices- around critical accountability issues, through growing coalitions and advocating for change (communities):

Thematic Focus Areas

Accountability Lab Nepal focuses on 6 key thematic areas of relevance:

Democracy and Federalism, including:

Training and mentoring of local leaders on evidence-based decision-making, budget equity, and citizen-centric decision-making;
Work with youth leaders, CSOs, government, and development partners to find innovative ways to support our democracy-building processes via international processes such as the Summit for Democracy and OGP;

Large-scale campaigns to celebrate honest civil servants and identify pathways for positive change such as Integrity Icon Nepal.

Work with federal and subnational governments, election commissions, parliamentarians, and political party leaders to push for effective public policy-making and election integrity;
Projects to track election campaign finances and disseminate this information in open data formats and create dialogue around this information.

4. Youth Leadership, Innovation, and Social Movement Building, including:

The provision of hands-on training, mentorship, and support to changemakers through our Accountability Incubator, with a focus on democratic participation and renewal;
The development of campaigns for social, environmental, and economic justice including around gender-based violence (GBV) and LGBTQI+ rights;
A collaborative space (the OpenGov Hub Nepal) for convening, ideation, lesson sharing, and planning.
