Open Nepal forms a platform for people to share their experiences of using and sharing data and information.
Open Nepal is a knowledge hub and a learning space for organizations and people that produce, share and use data for development or are interested to learn more about open data. By bringing together a community of practice in Nepal around topics such as the open data and access to information, Open Nepal forms a platform for people to share their experiences of using and sharing data and information, take collective action and generate solutions to common problems. The Community of Practice and Knowledge Hub contribute towards an enabling environment and build a movement for the sharing and use of (open) data for development in Nepal.
We promote collaboration to advance Nepal’s Data Revolution for sustainable Development..
Open Nepal exists to improve how data for development is produced, shared and used in Nepal by supporting a community of civil society groups, media, private sector, government and academia to share data lessons, experiences, expertise and ideas. Through this, Open Nepal works to encourage productive collaboration between Nepal’s suppliers, intermediaries and users of data, thereby strengthening progress towards Nepal’s Data Revolution for Sustainable Development.
Accessible, timely, and complete data is crucial for sustainable development and social progress. Better use of quality data empowers informed decisions on policy, planning, and monitoring, while supporting accountability. However, many efforts to achieve sustainable outcomes are hindered by poor data access. The global “Data Revolution for Sustainable Development” aims to improve data sharing and usage for better decisions, and in Nepal, it could significantly enhance development for the most vulnerable populations.
