communities. Its projects focus on promoting sustainable livelihoods through activities involving ecotourism, environment, micro-finance, the establishment of self-help groups, improved agriculture and capacity building of local organisations.

One of KEEP’s first activities was to open the KEEP Travellers’ Information Centre in Kathmandu. The Centre provides tourists with free information about trekking, helps sensitise them to conservation issues, and encourages the adoption of “minimum impact tourism”. KEEP’s other offices in Pokhara, Salleri and Sermathang provide skills training and runs workshops aimed at strengthening the role of tourism professionals. AFAP has been working with KEEP since 1996, when it formed a partnership to work on programs aimed at assisting the people of the Himalayan region.</p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><br> <span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:13px;"><strong><span class="style27" style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Neo Synthesis Research Centre</span></strong></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom: 0;"><span class="style28">Sri Lanka </span></p> <p class="style21" style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">The Neo Synthesis Research Centre was established in 1992 to promote sustainable agricultural production and biodiversity conservation.
