NGO Forum is committed to embrace the innovative research opportunities in a collaborative approach with the renowned research organizations and development partners. Its long experiences and potentials always drive us to resolve the unresolved and also on any emerging issues through innovative research initiatives. NGO Forum has been always keen to widen its working horizon focusing on the ongoing and upcoming challenges like climate resilient technological innovation, urban health and solid waste management considering the rapid and unplanned urbanization, Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), environmental hazards, WASH services in the healthcare facilities, occupational health, essential health care along with nutrition, adolescent Health,arsenic mitigation considering the magnitude of the problems.
In the last three decades of the organization’s intervention in the WatSan sector, it has produced significant number of research works contributing to the betterment of the hard-to-reach communities in terms of safe water, hygienic sanitation, and health in this connection. NGO Forum advances on its research productions towards updating of its programmes and approaches. Some of its recent research works have been conducted in the field of climate change effects in several agro-ecological zones of the country.
