Mr. Arjun Dhakal, Managing Director
For global consultancies bidding on Himalayan and South-Asian programmes, and for donors seeking trusted local delivery, SEEPORT brings the rigour of a research institute with deep on-the-ground reach.
SEEPORT's competitive edge lies in combining thematic depth across the climate–environment–development nexus within a single, coherent team.
Vulnerability & risk assessment, adaptation planning, and access to international climate finance.
Forest, biodiversity and natural-resource management from inventory to carbon and finance.
IFI-grade environmental and social assessment and management frameworks.
Climate-resilient, gender-transformative agriculture and food systems.
Economic rigour and policy insight for sound investment and reform decisions.
Gender equality, social inclusion and independent measurement underpinned by modern data.
The portfolio reflects an integrated approach to sustainable development — strong in environment & climate and M&E, with enduring depth in forestry, agriculture, irrigation and social development.

SEEPORT prepared the award-winning Green Climate Fund funding proposal (2017–2018) for FAO Nepal and the Government of Nepal. Approved as GCF project FP118, BRCRN mobilized US$47.43 million (US$39.39m GCF grant + US$8.04m government co-financing) to enhance the climate resilience of ecosystems and vulnerable communities across the Churia region — benefiting an estimated 200,000+ households and nearly one million people, at least half of them women. SEEPORT continues to support BRCRN through downstream ESMPs, land-tenure assessments and safeguard frameworks.
Repeat engagements with UNDP, FAO and multi-donor forestry programmes are testament to the quality and reliability of SEEPORT's work.
Recent work illustrates the contemporary frontier of SEEPORT's practice in climate finance, safeguards, nature-related disclosure, energy access and value chains.
