Pooja Sharma has been appointed as new Country Director of Practical Action Neal. “I am very excited to take on the role of Country Director in Nepal starting today. It has been six years since I joined Practical Action as the Head of Energy and later as the Thematic Lead of Energy. I have learned and enjoyed each day with the amazing team here. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone - family, friends, supervisors, mentors, colleagues, and teachers - for helping me grow and be able to take on this leadership position,” writes Sharma in her wall in Linkdin

“Practical Action is an organization that works with communities to identify ingenious solutions that contribute to their resilience. We start small but think big analysing the factors that can change the underlying systems and identifying where we are best placed to affect change. This is why I love Practical Action.”

“I will continue to uphold its values and remain the 'me' transformed by the experiences and exposure I have had so far. I am committed to the growth of Practical Action in Nepal, along with the awesome team of experts I have here. Looking forward to yet another exciting journey and partnering with many of you to make the world a better place for everyone!”
