FAQs
Your guide to understanding our approach, services, and collaboration opportunities in Nepal’s development landscape.
What makes Samvaad Nepal different from other communication organizations?
At Samvaad Nepal, we go beyond messaging. Our approach integrates human-centered design (HCD), behavioral science, and evidence-based strategies to ensure communication is not only heard but acted upon. Every solution we design is tailored to the cultural, linguistic, and social context of the communities we serve.
How does Samvaad Nepal use Human-Centered Design (HCD)?
Human-Centered Design is at the core of our work. We engage directly with communities through formative research, consultations, and co-creation workshops. This ensures that communication materials and campaigns reflect real community voices, behaviors, and needs—making them more relatable, trusted, and impactful.
How does Samvaad Nepal measure impact?
We emphasize continuous learning and adaptation. Through monitoring, evaluation, and feedback loops, we measure how communication influences knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. This data-driven process allows us to refine strategies in real time, ensuring both short-term effectiveness and long-term sustainability.
Why is behavior change communication important in development?
Many development programs struggle to achieve their intended outcomes because they overlook behavior and perception. At Samvaad Nepal, we design social and behavior change communication (SBCC) strategies that make it easier for individuals and communities to adopt positive behaviors—whether it’s in health, disaster preparedness, education, or gender equality.
How does Samvaad Nepal ensure inclusivity in its work?
Nepal is diverse and multilingual, so inclusivity is central to our approach. We create multilingual, accessible, and culturally relevant communication tools using SMS, IVR, radio, print, and digital platforms. Our women-led team prioritizes equity, ensuring marginalized voices are heard and represented.
What role does digital innovation play in your communication strategies?
We leverage digital tools like SMS, WhatsApp, voice platforms, mobile apps, and interactive web tools to reach audiences at scale. Digital innovation enables us to bridge gaps in access, especially in rural and hard-to-reach communities, while ensuring communication remains two-way and participatory.
How does Samvaad Nepal support long-term capacity building?
We believe in building systems, not just campaigns. Alongside project delivery, we provide training, mentorship, and knowledge-sharing so local partners, government agencies, and organizations can continue leading communication efforts independently in the long run.
