Outdoor air pollution has become a matter of grave concern in Nepal. Strong, coordinated and effective efforts are needed to tackle the growing problem of air pollution in Nepal, and open data has an important role to play in advocating for these efforts.

Open Street Mapping is one example of how open data can be produced and shared to support a wide range of uses. It holds huge potential to grow efficiencies within Nepal's private sector.

There is growing interest among many of Nepal’s open data actors to advance their collaboration as a community. Discussions have taken place to drive forwards the mutual interests of the open data community through three key areas of activity.

Over the last few years there have been a growing number of new initiatives, organizations and groups who have started working to address some of these challenges and improve the sharing and use of data in Nepal.

Do you have innovative ideas on how data can be opened and harnessed to solve Nepal’s development issues? Are you looking for funding to transform your ideas into reality? Then look no further!
