Manual
The "Open Data Manual" serves as a comprehensive guide to enhance data literacy among Nepal’s youth, civil society, and private sector. It introduces open data concepts, its history in Nepal, and practical steps for working with data, including cleaning, extraction, analysis, visualization, and publishing. The manual highlights Nepal’s emerging open data ecosystem, supported by government initiatives like the Right to Information Act and civil society projects, despite challenges like non-machine-readable formats (e.g., PDFs) and the absence of formal open data policies. It emphasizes the potential of open data to drive transparency, innovation, and sustainable development, offering tools, resources, and case studies to empower users.
