Dr. Eva Wieners

Hello there! My name is Eva Wieners and I have worked for the past seven years with NGOs on the grassroots level in Nepal in the field of fundraising, capacity development, and promotion of sustainable agricultural practices. I have worked on countless proposals for international foundations and have a lot of experience with fundraising – particularly in the field of small grants. Before coming to Nepal, I worked in South America and Europe. I hold a master’s (diploma) degree in geography, agriculture, and management and obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Hamburg, Germany in 2019. I am super excited to be working with you and to share my knowledge! Let’s get started.
