Social activists, researchers, senior academic, and grassroots workers are part of this organisation.
SADED continued engaging with those Nepali political and civil society leaders who came to India for their formal and informal visits since the initial years of 2000s. Various organizations working for a larger goal towards deepening democracy globally, such as Lokayan, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, Networks Institute for Global Democratization (NIGD), etc., were instrumental for the initial engagements with Nepalese that helped educate Indian people about Nepal’s socio-political situation.
Apart from these core activities, SADED-Nepal has been part of various other activities in Nepal and outside the country through its members and staff. SADED-Nepal was one of the lead organizations to organize series of World Social Forum discourse in Nepal. In fact, Nepal Social Forum Secretariat uses SADED-Nepal’s office and other facilities.
