Since its formation in July 2003, today’s involvement of 14 Membership Business Organizations, the NBI has already widened the role and the scope of possibilities for the larger private sector. The overarching goal of the NBI is stated as “Sustainable peace in Nepal through just socio-economic growth”. Although the business community and the NBI cannot play a role of the principal actor in the ongoing conflict in Nepal, it can act as a facilitator, interlocutor or a conciliator. |
