The Nepal National Social Welfare Association (NNSWA) was established in 1990. In 1994, NNSWA was registered with the District Administration Office, Kanchanpur, and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council in Kathmandu. Over the years, NNSWA has grown into one of the leading development organizations in Sudur Paschim Province, Nepal, implementing a wide range of integrated, community-based development programs throughout the province.

Sudur Paschim Province constitutes the core program area of NNSWA. The districts of the former Far Western Development Region are characterized by poor development indicators, high levels of male migration to India, inadequate infrastructure, significant caste- and gender-based disparities, and extensive deforestation. These conditions provide a strong rationale for NNSWA’s development interventions in the region. NNSWA’s programs are organized into four major sectors: (Education and Early Childhood Development, General Health and Reproductive Health, Nutrition, Disability and Health, Drinking Water, and Sanitation, Community Development through Social and Economic Upliftment, Natural Resource Management (Disaster Risk Reduction and Management [DRRM], Climate Change Adaptation [CCA], and Humanitarian Response)

1. Organizational and Programme Background

Nepal National Social Welfare Association (NNSWA) has worked for more than three decades with communities, government institutions and development partners in Sudurpaschim Province. Its areas of experience include disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM), climate change adaptation (CCA), humanitarian response, education, health, livelihoods, HIV and AIDS, nutrition, physical rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities, leprosy-related programming and other community-development sectors.

In partnership with Mercy Corps Nepal, NNSWA is implementing the Climate Resilience for Communities (CRC) Programme to strengthen climate resilience and disaster preparedness at local and watershed levels.

The Doda Watershed covers approximately 946.2 square kilometres across parts of Doti, Kailali, Dadeldhura and Kanchanpur districts. It includes Jorayal, Chure, Laljhadi and Alital rural municipalities and the municipalities of Godawari, Belauri, Krishnapur, Punarbas, Shuklaphanta and Parashuram.

The Doda Watershed Multi-Stakeholder Platform (DODA MSF) was formally established on November 7, 2023, to advance watershed-level disaster risk reduction, early warning, climate action and resilience-building. Strengthening and institutionalizing the platform is important for mobilizing collective action, resources and knowledge across upstream and downstream communities.

NNSWA therefore invites applications from qualified candidates for the position of Information Management Officer. The position will be based at the LEOC of Shuklaphanta Municipality and will provide technical support to the LEOC and secretariat support to DODA MSF.

As a secondary function, the officer will serve as a secretariat resource to DODA MSF, support coordination among watershed municipalities and stakeholders, contribute to watershed-level events and studies, and assist in identifying partnerships and resource-mobilization opportunities for resilience initiatives.
