Currently, DAI is delivering results in about 80 countries. Our clients include international development agencies, international lending institutions, private corporations and philanthropies, and national governments.

DAI seeks candidates for an anticipated USAID funded Jal Jangal (Freshwater and Forests) Activity in Nepal. This program will focus on the following areas: environmental governance, forestry, terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity, environmental crime, wildlife trafficking, protected area management, and environmental and social safeguards for infrastructure development. Positions will be based in Kathmandu and key target geographies. Furthermore, participation of women and marginalized communities will be essential to ensuring inclusive economic growth so this project will also have a gender equality and social inclusion element.
