Governance and Media Research Lab (GMRL) is a research-oriented organization working at the intersection of governance, public policy, and media engagement. The Lab focuses on generating evidence-based knowledge, translating research into accessible media content, and influencing policy discourse through strategic communication.

GMRL works to strengthen democratic governance by connecting research, media, and policy actors. Its core approach involves conducting studies on critical social and governance issues, facilitating dialogue with policymakers, and using media platforms to amplify evidence, marginalized voices, and reform-oriented narratives.

The organization actively engages at the policy level, working closely with parliamentarians, government stakeholders, development partners, and civil society organizations. Through research, policy dialogue, and media production, GMRL contributes to informed decision-making and inclusive governance processes in Nepal.
