4th July 2014, Kathmandu
It is a pleasure for AIN to declare that our entire 113 member INGOs have obtained the training on data entry, upnews_date and report (fact-sheet) generation into the Anews_id Management Platform (AMP) which has been regulated, directed and monitored by the Government of Nepal Ministry of Finance. With this, we have moved ahead towards publishing the source and usage of the foreign anews_id remitted through INGOs in Nepal. We consnews_ider this is an added effort of INGOs towards being more transparent, accountable and committed for right to information of the public.
To fulfill this venture, the Government of Nepal, Ministry of Finance and AIN Secretariat jointly organized 6 different interactional training sessions from July 2012 to June 2014. A group of 22-24 member organizations participated in each sessions. Selected finance or programme staff from member INGOs actively participated in the training.
Reiterating that the Member INGOs, as committed development partners of Nepal, have always strived for transparency and accountability towards the public, the government and donors; we trust that the data each INGOs enter into the AMP will further open the way forward to communicate officially on the utilization of the foreign anews_id by INGOs as well as eliminate dualism in data entry as we hope there will be data exchange system with Social Welfare Council.
In this occasion, we would like to thank the officials of the Ministry of Finance, the resource persons for the training sessions and the participants from the member INGOs and express all our members' unity as true partners for Development of Nepal.
