Smart NRNA

Overview

 The NRNA has existed for over a decade and now is formally registered with the Government of Nepal (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and National Coordination Councils (NCC) in over 80 countries. As it moves forward to increased institutionalization and sustainability NRNA recognizes the challenges and complexities it faces on managing NCC’s, its members, their personal information/documents, office bearers activities, events, knowledge base information, and other many kind of information in coming sections.

As a legal entity registered globally in over 80 countries, NRNA needs to have information management system (SMART NRNA)  which is consistent across all the organizational structures & geography to safeguard personal information provided by various stakeholders, to comply within national privacy and information management policies, to standardize and implement consistency among all the National Coordination Councils (NCCs).

This situation highlights the need to develop a greater focus and detailed strategies on information management systems and processes so that the NRNA is sustainable, result oriented, transparent, consistent, credible, responsible and relevant.

NRNA constitution has three levels of organizational hierarchy namely: International Coordination Council (ICC), Regional Coordinator (RC) and National Coordination Councils (NCC). Therefore, for the efficient, optimized and seamless collaboration of these teams, there must be central information management system which would allow the authorized stakeholders to manage information as per their assigned roles from the central repository which would ultimately enhance organizational operations.

Therefore, the organization realized the requirement to setup a SMART NRNA which would build a system / policy, procure required services to design, develop and deploy a centralized information management system for NRNA.
