Data, Digital and AI Literacy
Building the skills to use data and AI with confidence, not just consume them.
Why This Matters
Access to data and digital tools means little if people do not know how to read, question, or act on them. In Nepal, this gap runs across generations and institutions: from students and journalists to government staff who are suddenly expected to work with dashboards, open data, and now AI systems they were never trained to use.
What This Means for OKF Nepal
For us, literacy means practical, learning-by-doing skill building rather than one-off awareness sessions, so that people leave able to actually do something with data, and increasingly, with AI tools, not just talk about them.
The Change We Want to Create
A generation of Nepali practitioners, across government, media, and civil society, who are confident and critical users of data and AI, and who go on to train others in turn.
How We Are Doing It
Primarily through training and capacity building (data literacy workshops, train-the-trainer programmes, fellowships and cohorts under School of Data Nepal), extended into AI literacy as the newest layer of this work.
