Reform Forum is a government registered non-profit, non-partisan and non-political, social organization. It is established by a team of social activists, researchers, academicians, economists and journalists who have long been involved in governance reform and the anti-corruption movement in Nepal as part of their social responsibility.

To work for governance reform, transparency, accountability, a national integrity system, good governance and the rule of law in Nepal is the genuine and immediate need of the responsible citizens of Nepal. Therefore, for the need of efficient, improved and effective institutional efforts to establish social ethics, public integrity, governance reform, corruption free governing system and an equitable and just society in Nepal, Reform Forum has been formed.

Governance reform efforts in the past were futile and turned out to be motionless and counter-productive because of weak commitments from all sectors of society in the issue of reform. Due to a lack of political commitment and pervasive corruption, the reform agenda has always been overshadowed has never gained momentum. The nation has lagged far behind in governance, integrity, accountability, and transparency in relation to other developed nations. Several resources and reports show the considerable evidences of corruption and irregularities in projects and the procurement process that impedes the development activities.
Therefore, it is very urgent to initiate collective efforts for governance reform, a national integrity system, accountability, transparency and the rule of law in Nepal. With aim to reform these national issues and urgent needs, Reform Forum was established.
