"Centre of Investigative Journalism (CIJ Nepal) has made a contribution to introducing and promoting investigative journalism and its activities need to be continued, particularly given the efforts of Nepal to democratize and the introduction on new governance structure in the country. Generally, the project implemented by CIJ Nepal and Vikes has contributed to investigative journalism in Nepal and to the development of confidence among journalists to take on investigative assignments. Some trainees also received awards and citations. The trainings have also provided journalists opportunities to spend more time researching stories and working with mentors to produce copy. However, there also were areas where CIJ Nepal and Vikes could take actions to further enhance the overall quality and impact of the investigative projects." (Page 6)
