Training Workshop: Open Data & Air Quality

Clean up Nepal in collaboration with Air South Asia is organizing a workshop titled “Data and the Stories it can tell: Strengthening the Air Quality Narrative in Nepal” from August 13-15, 2018 in Kathmandu, Nepal. The workshop is supported under the ‘Improving the Sharing and Use of (Open) Data as Evidence for Development in Nepal’ Programme, implemented by The Asia Foundation in partnership with Development Initiatives (DI) with funding from the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID).

A total of 45 participants will be invited, and will include early career researchers, journalists, members of non-profit organizations, entrepreneurs, and artists from Nepal. The workshop aims to grow demand for open data, fulfill critical gaps in local capacity, and encourage collaboration among different stakeholders on air pollution in Nepal.
