Our Partners/Donors
— Community Partners International
Community Partners International (CPI)’s story begins in the war zones of eastern Myanmar (Burma) in the late 1990s. Nearly half a century of civil war had created a health crisis. In 2000, the World Health Organization ranked Myanmar second worst of all member states for overall health system performance. In 2002, research supported by CPI indicated that nearly three out of 10 children in eastern Myanmar did not live to see their fifth birthday.
CPI’s founders understood that the key to improving health services for these conflict-affected and hard-to-reach communities was to support community-led and community-based local organizations as key service providers. CPI forged long-term partnerships with these organizations and supported them in obtaining the resources, capacity, and information necessary to meet their communities’ essential health and humanitarian needs.
In these early years, the care model focused on mobile services. CPI helped local partners address the most pressing health issues facing their communities including maternal, newborn, and child health, malaria, management of traumatic injuries caused by landmines and gunshots, tuberculosis, and lymphatic filariasis. CPI helped them conduct research, collect data and strengthen health information systems to support planning, advocacy, and fundraising.
From these origins in eastern Myanmar, CPI expanded to support ethnic minority populations in Myanmar’s northern and western border regions. In 2009, CPI opened its first Myanmar-based office in Yangon to coordinate support to communities in central Myanmar. During the same year, annual direct and indirect population coverage of services supported by CPI exceeded one million people for the first time.

— The Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists
The Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) was established on 1 June 1986. It was later registered as the Nepal Forum of Environmental Communicators (NEFC), a private company, because the laws of the day did not allow individuals to organize freely and, therefore, it was not possible to seek registration as a journalists’ organization. However, since it needed a proper bank account to operate, it decided to register as NEFC at the Department of Industry. It was formally registered as NEFEJ on 23 August 1990 (after Nepal became a democracy in April 1990)
