Nepal’s governmental body responsible for overseeing and regulating overseas work opportunities for its citizens serves as a crucial link between aspiring migrant workers and prospective employers abroad. This entity manages the processes related to labor migration, ensuring ethical recruitment practices and protecting the rights of Nepali workers in foreign countries. For instance, it establishes standards for recruitment agencies, provides pre-departure orientation and training, and facilitates access to consular services for those working overseas.
This institution plays a vital role in Nepal’s economy by facilitating remittances, which contribute significantly to the nation’s GDP. It also aims to reduce unemployment within the country by connecting Nepali citizens with job opportunities abroad. Established to address the increasing number of Nepalis seeking employment overseas and to mitigate the risks associated with unregulated migration, the organization has evolved over time to meet the changing demands of the global labor market. Its efforts are directed towards promoting safe and legal migration while combating exploitation and human trafficking.
