Clean up Nepal is a for-purpose, Nepal-based, non-governmental organization focusing on improving public health and the environment through systematic improvements of existing solid waste management systems and assisting in the setup of new systems where none exists. Due to limited research and studies on waste management and the multifaceted challenges in the waste sector of Nepal, Clean up Nepal’s approach has been to obtain a complete and accurate understanding of existing waste management systems prior to program design and community solutions.
We are looking for a passionate, proactive, and diligent individual who is interested in leading the Cleanup Nepal team to genuinely create a positive change in communities. If you are a dynamic individual who cares about environmental issues and has a knack for engaging and working with municipalities, ward, and community members, we are interested in speaking with you.
