E - Network Research and Development, Nepal

ENRD is constituted as a forum for research and for the development of knowledge based ICT professionalism in society. It pools expertise from the professionals and thought-leaders in the ICT and economic management fields, and shares that accumulated skill, knowledge, art and information with others who are not ICT-savvy and therefore who have much to gain from the knowledge and expertise that is amassed there. While its principles are widely applicable in all societies, implementing ICT in a simple and cost-benefit effective form in developing countries like Nepal is the main mission of ENRD. ENRD supports and educates ICT professionals and non-professionals alike in the implementation and development of ICT based networks with the understanding that participation by all people in these networks adds to the welfare and benefit of societies.
