Moreover, I am working with National Entrepreneurship Development Center (NEDC); a federated apex body of UNDP/MEDEP and MEDPA’s fifty-three district based partner NGOs; created and backstopped by UNDP/Micro Enterprise Development Program (MEDEP), which is a joint initiative and funding of United Nations Development Program (UNDP); Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) under Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) of Australian Government; Department for International Development (DFID) of the UK Government; Canadian Agency for International Development (CIDA) of Canadian Government; New Zealand Agency for International Development (NZAID) of New Zealand Government; and MEDEP and MEDPA Programs/Projects are executed by Government of Nepal (GON)/Ministry of Industry.

I have worked in coordination and cooperation among the most backward rural communities at grassroots level including urban population in approximately forty-five districts as well as with the district headquarters and central Government of Nepal since 1990. (B) Trainings and Seminars (3) I have attended approximately forty-five short-term training courses and participated on many learning events and opportunities, particularly on seminars and workshops in order to enhance my career with the international organizations. Moreover, I have also actively worked as a team member through my previous employers to provide general support and facilitate national, regional and international training courses, seminars and workshops in the past. I have developed a reading habit of different books, literatures and journals to make my know-how stronger, which directly contributed for my career enhancement as well as to broaden the positive mindset in maintaining optimistic personality during difficult circumstances in my life. (C) Higher Education

P11 - 04/05/11 19
(4) I used to regularly study various kinds of literatures in different subject matters up to 2:00-3:00am in every day to quench my deep-rooted learning hunger from my childhood. As a result, I used to be always the first or second boy in classes in my entire school education and class monitor to control class-mates in case of absence of teachers, which directly contributed me to shape my nature for self-confidence, hard working and democratic leadership qualities in my present life. As far as my pedagogical background is concerned, I have obtained Double Masters Degree in the mainstream of the business studies/management and arts/humanities i.e. Masters in Business Studies (MBS) and MA Rural Development, both in the first divisions. Moreover, I have also completed the third master degree in the Public Administration (MPA), although I have one back paper of twenty marks for final certification. (D) My Life’s Journey (5) My father and mother tied social-knot in their home district in Gulmi (hilly region), which is also my birth place, where I spent up to the age of my four years. Later on, I spent two years in Gorakhpur’s army camp including Nicharaul in UP/Bihar of India. Moreover, I spent additional four years of my childhood in my own hometown in Triveni Bazaar, Nawalparashi district (terai belt). Similarly, I spent my childhood after the age of ten years in different places of Lalitpur and Kathmandu, both in rural and urban areas of the capital, as I was grown-up in this valley from the age of ten. I migrated to Kathmandu from my hometown when I was 10 years in 1984 and still living at the same place. I have intensively travelled and spent quality times with the various communities, casts, creeds and religions across India and Nepal. I have visited 45 rural and urban districts in Nepal and thoroughly travelled many parts of Indian cities including Tibet, Thailand, Singapore and Philippines. Similarly, I have closely worked with different nationalities of many countries with my previous employers, who are multilateral, bilateral and unilateral organizations in developmental sector based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Subsequently, I am able to easily understand different natives’ dialects, cultures, customs, practices and life styles among the diversified communities in India and Nepal as well as other parts of the world as I have closely worked with the international communities from the early teenage of my life. (6) I, therefore, can easily mix-up with different casts, creeds, religions and ideologies. Such kind of open mindset made me very liberal minded and respect for the co-existence of other people and communities as nothing is above the humanitarian sentiment on this planet. I am, therefore, can easily adopt with local situations and diversified groups of people with different values and ethos in life, which is a basic requirement to work in a team for the client orientation in the competitive world, where individuals may have their own varied personalities that will be the human resource assets for any organizations, if we properly manage and mobilize them for the institutional benefit purpose. (E) My Extra Skills (7) I can independently support for trainings, seminars and workshops; conduct interviews; I can draft articles, journals, reports, proposals as well as poems/songs after necessary literature review; translate documents from Nepali to English and vice versa; delivery of lectures for students from school to masters degree courses after proper preparation; prepare report/data presentation; focused group discussions; coordination, liaison and other administrative as well as program related roles and responsibilities as per organizational requirements because I can immediately update and upgrade myself for the assigned responsibilities for my new roles. (F) My Cumulative Experience (8) I always tried to be a generic and accordingly groomed myself from my early childhood to be a flexible person in my life as well as for the professional career in order to adjust with the existing circumstances and market demand. I persistently attempted to broaden my horizons in my life and never confined myself within a limited framework. I, therefore, have successfully worked in fifteen positions with more than a dozen organizations and experienced job assignments both in administrative/operational as well as program/technical fields. Moreover, being a student under multiple disciplines, particularly three masters degree holder in the mainstream subjects on management, rural development and public administration courses, I can work for administration, operational, finance, development, economics, communication, coordination, reporting, planning, budgeting, socio-economic and psycho-social developmental sectors. Furthermore, to be more specific and precise, I can independently handle the multiple capacities in the cross-cutting sectors viz receptionist, secretary, assistant, analyst, officer, supervisor, coordinator, specialist, manager, director, etc., which depends on the nature/volume of organization, annual operational turnover and number of employees. (G) My Working Strategies
(9) I am extremely punctual in my commitments and hardly leave the workplace until completion of the assigned responsibilities despite working late hours and weekend. I am single so that I can spend any hours of my personal time for the timely completion of the allocated tasks and meet the official deadlines. I have clearly understood the value of time and priorities management in the workplace. I try my best for the clients’ orientation, teamwork, shared organizational visions, missions and goals to achieve institutional targets. I never compromise for the quality outputs and delivery of

P11 - 04/05/11 20
timely results in my performance in modern result-based management system. As the performance based evaluation process is the best indicator for the assessment of performance in a team. I prefer for the knowledge sharing, open communication, flexibility and mutual respects among the team members to be a team player. I always stress to work in a system approach for the institutional memory to enhance the sustainable development approach as in-and-out of people is usual procedure but institutions must function permanently. (II) INSTITUTIONAL EXPERIENCE (H) Save the Children Norway (10) My first professional career started at the age of early sixteen in January 1990 with Save the Children Norway. Consequently, I always tried to groom and train myself as the competent employee to meet the international quality outputs, which is necessary for performance based evaluation in any international organizations. During my early teenage and younger age, I used to work for 18-19 hours daily and used to sleep merely for 4-5 hours. I worked very hard in the office during normal official time and side by side, I continued further education simultaneously from the night/morning school/college, although my job and education were completely full time basis. Moreover, I used to attend several training courses officially as well as personally to upgrade my knowledge and skills for the better performance and upgrade the career ladders for the future. Subsequently, Save the Children Norway not only promoted me, but also I was able to learn the human/people centric Scandinavian/Norwegian management styles based on the human welfare, which is necessary everywhere. I was a book-worm during my early teenage so that I could not focus in any other unproductive fields in my life. Working with Save the Children Norway for nearly eight years supported me to understand the basic functioning of I/NGOs and Community Based Organizations (CBOs), which is a permanent asset throughout my life to clearly comprehend the insight of I/NGOs/CBOs operations in Nepal. (11) I visited different projects implemented districts in Nepal during my tenure with Save the Children Norway, which enhanced my knowledge to understand grassroots level communities in many settlements of the nation. I started my career as a receptionist and was upgraded for the secretarial and administrative assistant related activities, where I involved for the administrative related jobs for central office as well as ten self-implemented programs/projects scattered in ten districts. I was involved for the procurement, logistics, finance, store handling, records keeping, invoice inspections, vehicle and property management, project visits for internal auditing and providing necessary supports for the program, training and human resource departments as per necessary. Save the Children Norway groomed me and facilitated for my human resource development since at the age of 17 in 1991, Save the Children Norway encouraged me to enroll in the night school and financed my school education, too for an initial year. (12) Hence, I enrolled in grade seven in a night school at Naxal, Kathmandu at the age of 17, which runs from 5:30pm to 10:00pm every night even today. I used to return home from school at around 10:00-11:00pm and after dining, I used to do school assignments up to 2:00-3:00am. Consequently, I was never second even in the night school from grade seven to ten so that my school fee was waved for three years. I completed my school leaving certificate (SLC) with the first division at the age of 21 in 1995, whereas I was a regular employee at the age of 16 in 1990 with Save the Children Norway. It clearly indicates that how laborious and target oriented I was during my teenage. (13) Moreover, I completed the intermediate in commerce (I Com) from a morning college in Pakanajol, Kathmandu, where I used to reach at 6:00am in the morning and used to join the office at 9:00am sharp in Jawalakhel. However, Social Welfare Council (SWC) issued a directive in late ninety to all international non-governmental organizations to work through local NGOs/CBOs. Subsequently, Save the Children Norway, including other Nepal based several INGOs, shutdown their self-implemented programs/projects in field and initiated to work by local NGOs. Save the Children Norway, therefore, was on the process of redundant nearly 200 employees as well as administrative staff from central office. Subsequently, I, including other employees, explored the job in market and I was lucky enough that I found a new job with Japan Medical Association (JMA) prior to staff restructuring process was implemented in Redd Barna. When I was a teenage, I had heard about the hard working intrinsic nature of Japanese people so that I also used to dream to work with Japanese communities since it could influence my internal nature to be similar to Japanese in terms of hard work to materialize the vision. My several years of dream eventually came true, when I joined Japanese organization and team. (I) Japan Medical Association (JMA)
(14) My experience and know-how under Norwegian management proved very useful, while I worked with Japan Medical Association (JMA) to implement School and Community Health Project throughout sixteen VDCs of Kavrepalanchowk district in Nepal. I worked at the central and field offices to supervise several project related activities and quality delivery of the services for grassroots level communities. JMA subsequently, promoted me due to my best performance. Japanese management taught me for hard work, quality outputs and never say no for assigned jobs, despite difficult circumstances. I was lucky enough to directly work in program/technical team for JMA’s pilot project. I visited several districts with Japanese experts to facilitate structured research and studies on several socio-economic sectors, in

P11 - 04/05/11 21
hilly and terai districts as per instructions of Japan Medical Association’s headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. I was able to directly interact with several urban and rural communities in Nepal. At the same time, I had enrolled in a morning campus for my further education. (15) However, due to several field visits, I was not able to regularly attend morning college from 6:00am-9:00am so that I realized that my education was deteriorating then past. I, therefore, explored a new job in administration field, especially Kathmandu based, and I was lucky that I found an administrative job, which was based in Kathmandu. However, Japan Medical Association (JMA) taught me for hard working nature and I was able to understand programs, where I also understood Japanese people, too. (J) UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) (16) My cumulative knowledge, skills, attitude, practices and working experience under Norwegian and Japanese management proved a milestone in my career graph to look after the administration department under UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) funded Rural Access Program (RAP) during RAP project designing phase. I successfully facilitated for administrative activities for two years’ RAP project design period, where I closely worked with a dozens of British expectorates and international specialists for the rural access related project design activities. The British management taught me for the flexible management style in the workplace. Further, I directly supported for set-up of the new project, purchasing furniture and other required office materials to launch new office. I contributed to develop the administrative forms and other necessary procedures from the project inception phase. The entire project team members were newly recruited subsequently multidisciplinary operational and program team members contributed their know-how for the smooth project operation. After completion and submission of Nepal’s RAP project design outputs to DFID headquarters in UK, the project bridging phase was very long due to lengthy governmental procedures, negotiations and high level policy dialogues between Government of UK and Nepal, which took few years for finalization to initiate project implementation phase. The UK based WSP International, Oxford Policy Management and University of East Angelia including Switzerland based Helvetas, who had jointly worked out to design RAP, formally decided to redundant RAP project designing team and officially closed project for design phase. I learned bilateral working procedures fist time from DFID/RAP under the UK aid. (K) United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) (17) I started a job at United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)/Country Technical Services Team for South and West Asia (CST for SAWA) Countries. I was fortunate to closely work with the multilateral agency under United Nations (UN) systems and its regional and international experts, who were based in Kathmandu. I closely worked with several expectorates of different countries and tried to understand UN system of working procedures. However, I was in last year of my bachelor level of education and final examination was ahead, but I had not prepared for exam so that I decided to resign from the job to properly prepare for my graduation examination, where I succeeded to complete the bachelors in business studies education on right time. (L) Himalayan Broadcasting Corporation (HBC) Radio (18) I joined radio station next day after leaving job with UNFPA/CST for SAWA Countries as the job with radio station was not hectic as compared to UN system so that I could prepare my examination side by side. It was my childhood dream to talk on radio since in our time television was not common as of today. Moreover, FM radio stations were mushrooming in Kathmandu and it was an honor at that time to work with media. However, all most all radio stations used to air commercial and entertainment related programs, but I tried to change the market trends and focused for the production of development related issues. My socio-economic and psycho-socio related radio programs on national burning issues were proved most popular one among intellectuals and academia group of listeners across the countryside. (M) Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers (PM Office) (19) However, after working for one year, I internally realized that the national anthem and power of words to influence the general public in a hungry stomach does not work efficiently and effectively as there is no any precious wealth on this planet than food. I, therefore, explored the place, which could feed me and my family because any places, where there is guarantee for the quality of livelihoods and easy life styles are the mother land for us. I, therefore, applied for a new job and I was ultimately selected to implement Strengthening the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers Project under the UK Aid, where me and a Project Coordinator were only staff to complete the overall project assignments through the UK Government’s DFID, which was a satellite project of Enabling State Program under DFID cooperation for Nepal.
(20) My duty station was based in Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, where I closely worked with senior level government’s beaurocrates and political appointees. At the final stage of project completion, there was a huge

P11 - 04/05/11 22
political turmoil in Nepal, where seven changes of the government in two years were taken place and then king took over for direct rule. The DFID headquarters in UK, therefore, shutdown the project including other two governance and democracy related projects immediately after takeover of ruling by then king in Nepal. (N) DFID/Enabling State Program Nepal (21) Strengthening the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers Project was a satellite project of DFID/Enabling State Program. After shut down of the project, DFID/ESP recruited me in order to clean-up the project activities and formally hand over the outputs to the PM Office, where my responsibilities were to coordinate and liaison between DFID/ESP and PM Office. I was deployed at the PM Office to represent DFID/ESP, where I was a bridging person between PM Office and DFID/ESP senior officials until complete phase out of the project. (O) United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF)/Regional Office for South Asia (22) I was recruited under a special service contract in order to provide full supports for the international level seminars/workshops and compilation of social data/information from South Asian Countries through internet/Google. Moreover, I translated series of Government of Nepal’s policies and social sector related documents into English to distribute them as working papers for international participants, who were taking part as representation of specialized UN agencies from different countries. Moreover, I supported UNICEF/ROSA’s social department for secretarial, logistical and administrative activities to smoothly facilitate international events. (P) United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/NDI (23) United State Agency for International Development (USAID)/National Democratic Institute (NDI) worked for Nepal in order to strengthen democratic process. USAID/NDI provided series of democratic and human rights related training courses for the most senior and central committee leaders of major political parties viz. Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal/United Marxist and Leninist (CPN/UML), Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and Nepal Sadvawana Party. Moreover, USAID/NDI also conducted a workshop for Women Member of Parliaments (MPs) from all political parties in Nepal. The same workshop laid a foundation stone and conception for 33% women reservations in governmental sectors in Nepal for equity and equality for all. For this purpose, all women MPs from all political parties formed a “Women MPs Caucus” for an action plan in order to lobby and advocacy at the parliament as well as policy formulation, which has been common agenda for all in these days. USAID/NDI had recruited me in providing supports for training courses for major political parties and women MPs committee formation workshop, where I worked as translator and training/workshop note taker/rappotear, which I successfully completed. I prepared and submitted a series of reports and translated several documents for training courses and workshop. On the same trainings and workshops, I was able to clearly understand the functioning of major political parties in Nepal as well as status of the women MPs in the existing political parties at that particular time. (Q) United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/IFES (24) USAID/International Foundation of Electoral System (IFES) was on the process of launching its project activities in Nepal, especially on cooperation and partnership basis with the Election Commission of Nepal. I supported to the team of American international experts as a local consultant during very conception and inception phase to arrange necessary meetings/interactions with different stakeholders, mainly senior government officials at GON ministries and departments, media, election commission, civil societies, etc. Moreover, I translated relevant documents into English in to support for project inception phase and also reported status of Nepalese politics at the time of local election during king’s direct rule. (25) Later on, USAID/IFES had offered me for Administrative Officer job, when the project was finally materialized, but at that specific time, I had already started a new job with JICA/Nepal Office so that I could not accept the job offer and my relationship with IFES discontinued. (R) Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) (26) I worked with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Nepal Office to look after for the human security of JICA staff and its volunteers, who are deployed across the countryside in multiple sectors. I used to prepare daily, weekly and monthly reports, mainly related with security situations as well as political issues to present for senior management on weekly basis. On the basis of my security briefings and updates, JICA Nepal Office used to report to the Embassy of Japan and accordingly used to issue the travel advisory and security measures for Japanese citizens based in Nepal. I also visited some districts in order to assess the local security situations across countryside, where I used to prepare security related reports upon consultations at districts headquarters with CDOs, DPOs, media and civil societies. (S) Asian Development Bank (ADB)

P11 - 04/05/11 23
(27) I moved to Asian Development Bank (ADB)/Nepal Residence Mission and worked for nearly four years, where I supported administrative and operational activities. I supported several workshops, seminars, trainings, missions for coordination and communication activities including daily clerical work for the smooth operation of ADB/Nepal Residence Mission. I closely worked with 35 ADB funded programs/projects and government counterparts at different ministries/departments. I also attended training courses in ADB headquarters and participated on many online training courses under ADB system since operational activities are under direct control by ADB headquarters. I closely worked and politely interacted with citizens of more than 50 counties, who are employed with ADB. I clearly understood the functioning of the multilateral organizations and I went through several literatures and reports published by ADB on the basis of its operation across Asian countries. I highly benefitted in terms of learning, while working with ADB. However, my job was merely for three years fixed-term basis, but additional one year was extended for me. (T) UNDP/MEDEP/NEDC (28) I am working with National Entrepreneurship Development Center (NEDC); a federated apex body of UNDP/MEDEP and MEDPA’s fifty-three districts based partner NGOs; created and backstopped by UNDP/Micro Enterprise Development Program (MEDEP), which is a joint initiative and funding of United Nations Development Program (UNDP); Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) under Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) of Australian Government; Department for International Development (DFID) of UK Government; Canadian Agency for International Development (CIDA) of Canadian Government; New Zealand Agency for International Development (NZAID) of New Zealand Government; and MEDEP and MEDPA Programs are executed by Government of Nepal (GON)/Ministry of Industry. (III) MY PERSONALITIES AND LIFE STYLES (U) Extroverted Personality (29) Openness: My general inherent personality traits keep on changing from extroverted to introverted, which depends on natures and background of the target audience and subject matters for discussions. I am a very liberal minded, democrat, independent, honest, talkative and extroverted person and share my state of mind with the circles of influence and concern. I often trust people easily, but they exploit my gentleness, soberness and softness for their own vested interests, which sometimes makes me sad. I prefer simple life with the better human capital for own inner satisfaction purpose. I respect women/men who are gentle and liberal, although I prefer straight forward persona and speak of mind. (30) However, I disgust liars, hypocrites, arrogant and sadist persons as they are good for nothing for others since they act as the emotional terrorists for others. I am extremely transparent and I do mostly speak-out of my mind. I am honest in dealings and do not like hanky-panky nature from others, too. I am very much gender sensitive person and highly respect the women for their inner royal qualities. (31) Hobbies: I review diversified literatures, especially books on philosophy, management, spirituality, development, sociology, psychology, economics, politics and generalized news and views on national/international issues on daily basis. I often watch movies - - documentaries, arts and commercial films. I mostly listen all kinds of music from western to eastern. I like to travel new places with likeminded friends for exposure from different ethnicities. (32) Attributes: I am completely self-disciplined, self-made, self-developed and self-directed person without guidance and mentoring from anybody in my entire life. I dreamed, visualized and worked hard to materialize my visions, goals and aims, which made me active, laborious and confident to cope difficult challenges and circumstances in the course of my life. On the other hand, when I was in my early teenage and younger age, I used to work exceptionally hard both for my professional career and education. I was able to work up to 18-19 hours daily in those struggle days and used to sleep merely 4-5 hours. Hence, I continued full time job and education simultaneously. However, when I get leisure time in these days, particularly during weekend, I enjoy for — laying on bed; traveling around countryside; reading newspapers; listening music; working in computer for writing something; dine delicious meals; chatting, sharing and joking on generic issues with my family members, especially two sisters and old mother; reviewing literature/reports; and watching latest movies/TV with family members. (33) Strength: I am determined laborious person for my set goals, which usually makes me feel exhausted and burnt- out. Consequently, I can hardly get pleasures from the ground reality in case of failures in hard work. I am, however, not a perfect household manager, particularly for cooking, laundry, ironing and other domestic work as I have never practiced such activities in my life due to sufficient love and take care rendered by my mother/sisters, although I am organized and well managed person at home.
