Frozen Funds, Unfrozen Purpose with the NGO Federation of Nepal (NFN)
Welcome again to "Frozen Funds, Unfrozen Purpose”, a podcast series by Forus, part of the EU SEE consortium—where we amplify civil society voices facing today’s evolving challenges and opportunities. In this episode, we’re shifting gears slightly. Yes, the USAID funding freeze and broader aid contractions are deeply concerning—but today, we focus on solutions. On how civil society is adapting, organizing, and reimagining its future, even amid enabling environment restrictions and unpredictable donor landscapes. We welcome Arjun Battharai from the NGO Federation of Nepal (NFN)—a Forus member and leading voice in civil society coordination and advocacy in the region.
