Centre for Social Innovation and Foreign Policy (CESIF) is a not-for profit, autonomous, and independent private research institution serving in the public interest, with significant independence from any interest groups and autonomy from the government. 

As an emerging think tank, CESIF has established itself as a credible institution focused on evidence-based research and innovative policy solutions across various issues of national and global importance. We work closely with national, provincial and local stakeholders, ranging from governments, parliamentary committees, bureaucrats, diplomatic communities, media, civil society, academicians, and local communities. 

Our research, dialogue and advocacy engagements spiral around Nepal’s foreign policy, diplomacy, geopolitics, foreign aid and investments, cross-border relations, domestic political development, misinformation, gender and social inclusion, corruption and impunity, among others.
