Ram Jee KARKI

Pilot Sites Field Specialist (GANESHA)

Ram Jee is a Nepalese humanitarian and development specialist working with NEVI on Project GANESHA. With a background in social work, government liaison, and relief interventions, he brings extensive experience working with international and national NGOs, as well as translating policy into practical support for communities.

Over his career, Ram Jee has been closely involved in some of Nepal’s most challenging periods. He worked on earthquake response efforts in 2015, helped coordinate relief during the armed conflict in Nepal as a humanitarian worker with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for 13 years, and spent a further nine years supporting Bhutanese refugee assistance in camps and field locations across the country.

This combination of field work and coordination has given him a grounded understanding of how new initiatives affect people’s lives on the ground.

Academically, he holds an International Diploma in Humanitarian Assistance (IDHA) from Fordham University in New York, a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Development Studies from Kathmandu University, a Master’s degree in Economics from Tribhuvan University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a focus on accountancy, taxation and auditing.

This mix of humanitarian, economic and management training underpins his approach to development and partnership.

For Ram Jee, partnership is central to effective change. He believes development work is strongest when organisations collaborate around a shared goal rather than working alone, and he has spent his career building relationships with a wide range of community organisations.

Within NEVI and Project GANESHA, this perspective helps ensure that clean mobility and energy initiatives connect with local priorities and community structures.

Outside of work, Ram Jee enjoys travelling and has a strong interest in political and development issues. He likes to be involved at grassroots level, spending time in the field and working directly with communities.
