GoGo Foundation, a non-profit, a non-partisan and a non-governmental organization, was initially conceptualized in early 2000 as an academic forum to discuss governance and anti-corruption issues. However, it was given a legal identity only in 2008 through a proactive initiative of a group of anti-corruption campaigners, lawyers, journalists and human rights activists. It is registered at the District Administration Office in Kathmandu and is affiliated with the Office of Social Welfare Council. However, the organization started actively working since 2013.
