Welcome to the German Development Service in Nepal!
The German Development Service (DED) is one of the German governmental organisations of development co-operation responsible for personnel co-operation. Since its foundation in 1963, more than 16.000 technical assistants committed themselves to improve the living conditions in Asia, Africa and Latin America. DED combines professional and intercultural skills with social commitment in order to put democratic principles into practice.
DED started its programme in Nepal in 1968. Until today, more than 400 technical assistants have worked in various Nepalese programmes and projects. As part of the German development co-operation, DED works in the priority areas negotiated between the Nepalese and the German governments. Currently, the DED technical assistants work as advisors in two of the priority areas:
- Strengthening of Local Self-Governance and Civil Society
- Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency.
