Foreword from the Ac! ng Country Director
As an Ac! ng Country Director of ADRA Nepal, I am very pleased to sign this
annual report of 2009. This annual report covers a year of further success
for ADRA Nepal. With the launching of the ìADRA Nepal Balance Scorecard
Strategic Plan 2009-2011î in 2009, we have demonstrated our commitment
for a larger opera! on with mul! ple donors working through local partners
and with decentralized management system and extended por" olio in # ve
focus areas namely; Reproduc! ve Health, Economic Development, Good
Governance, Educa! on and Emergency Management. Through a variety of
projects, we worked in 33 districts of Nepal from east to far west regions
reaching marginalized, disadvantaged and needy popula! on with a total
expenditure of US$2.5 million. The health s! ll remained to be the largest

ADRA con! nued sending its key sta& in ADRA Professional Leadership Ins! tute (APLI) followed by organizing
the similar trainings for other ADRA sta& , the local partners and stakeholders. ADRA will con! nue to work
with local implemen! ng partners and assis! ng them in quality service delivery to the bene# ciaries.
ADRA Nepal observed some changes in the leadership last year. Mr. Yvan Castro, the Country Director, le* to
join ADRA China and Ms. Bidya Mahat was promoted to take over the Program Director posi! on, which was
now na! onalized. We were around 100+ dedicated, professional sta& and had one full ! me interna! onal

forward to his successful leadership in developing ADRA Nepal.
Finally, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the sta& , volunteers, board members, partners, donors,
government agencies and others who diligently work together to ensure ADRA con! nues to be a leading
