Established in the year 2022, the Association of International NGOs – AIN is an informal group of INGOs working in Nepal.

At present, AIN has a stronghold of one hundred and forty INGO members working on a wide-range of issues making noteworthy contributions to development and humanitarian efforts. As per SWC there are two hundred and sixty INGOs working in Nepal. AIN as an umbrella has stood as an epitome for these diverse INGOs working in the country.
AIN has been keenly facilitating and supporting its member’s ideals and objectives, promoting mutual understanding, fostering camaraderie and harmony. Though an informal network it is a trust-driven and communication-intensive entity. The Articles of Association and the strategy plan bind its members to AIN’s core values, vision and goals. AIN’s various thematic working groups bring them together to an ultimate platform to facilitate development cooperation. As a vital actor in the development sector, since its inception AIN has made a niche of its own through the implementation and accomplishment of various people-centered development programs through the working groups. AIN has been a vehicle to transfer knowledge & information, sharing experiences & learning of the Member Organizations.
Years after the term “mental retardation” was stripped from many federal statutes, numerous references to “mentally retarded” remain. Now, a bipartisan group of lawmakers wants to change that.
A bill introduced late last week in the U.S. House of Representatives would replace language that many with disabilities find offensive in more than two-dozen instances in the U.S. Code.
The move comes more than a decade after passage of Rosa’s Law, which removed “mental retardation” from federal health, education and labor policy in favor of “intellectual disability,” but failed to address references to “mentally retarded,” according to lawmakers behind the latest effort.
