A world where knowledge creates power for the many, not the few.
This is the world we choose.
Open Knowledge Nepal (OKN) is a non-profit civic tech organization working to create a fair, sustainable, and open future by advancing open knowledge as a design principle beyond data. We believe that the openness of data is powerful to have a participatory government with civil society, eventually leading to sustainable development. The organization has been involved in research, advocacy, training, workshops, and developing tools related to open knowledge. We provide data services and solutions to various agencies and specialize in solving data-related problems through consultation and tool development.
We want to see Open By Default
in the DNA of a knowledge society.
