Nepalese Association of Agriculture, Forestry and Environment in Australia [HO3] Incorporated (NEPAFE) was created by the relevant professionals and experts during a formal workshop held in Sydney on 9 February 2019 to foster scientific exchange and knowledge sharing between Nepal and Australia. The participants of the workshop decided to register the Association in NSW Department of Fair Trading.
This aims to become a key platform for sharing and networking among Nepalese professionals residing in Australia. It also facilitates sharing knowledge between Australian scientists and academics and Nepalese professionals in the above-mentioned fields of knowledge.
The mission of the Association is to promote scientific exchange and cooperation between Australia and Nepal for the economic wellbeing and environmental sustainability of the two countries. Its focus will be in assisting Nepal by sharing Australian science and technology in the sustainable management of agriculture, forestry, and natural resources.
This will be accomplished through the active exchange of knowledge, ideas, technologies, and human resources between Australia and Nepal. To achieve this, NEPAFE will conduct research, capacity building and dissemination activities. The working areas or disciplines of the Association include agriculture (including livestock and fisheries), forestry, water, natural resource management, environment, and allied fields.
The main purpose of NEPAFE is to develop a community of practice among professionals of Nepalese origin in Australia for developing collaboration, friendship, and collective action.
