A small team, a long queue.
Behind the Desk
A small secretariat, a long queue of work.
The HFMN secretariat operates out of Kathmandu with a small standing team and a wide network of field officers, cooperative liaisons and volunteer researchers across the seven provinces. We answer every inquiry — but often not on the same day.
If your note is about membership, cluster partnership or an export lead, please use the form below and pick the closest topic. Media and academic queries reach the same inbox and are handled in the same queue.
