The launch of the International Water Management Institute in 1984 was the culmination of a process set in motion by two significant events that took place as far back as 1969.

The involvement of IWMI in research on water issues in Nepal dates back to 1986 with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Water and Energy Commission Secretariat (WECS) and funding from the Ford Foundation.

The initial mandate was to promote and strengthen irrigation research capability in Nepal and to undertake research activities in FMIS.
