During the late 1990s, when participatory approach was a new development concept in Nepal, many development workers and INGOs/NGOs used NEPAN as a center for collecting resource materials and learning from the experiences of participatory experts and practitioners. NEPAN has be influential in the capacity building of development workers and advancement of participatory development practices in Nepal.
