-When a country is struggling on a daily basis to meet its basic needs, it’s hard to believe that over the last few decades, Nepal has made progress. Here are four charts that show how Nepal progressed. Check it out and share with others!
-
-**In 1960, the life expectancy of an average Nepali was just a little more than 35 years. In 2015, it’s almost 70 years. Life expectancy has doubled in the last 50+ years in Nepal! **
-
-
-
-**In 2005, only about 1 in 100 Nepalis had a subscription to a cellular mobile. In 2015, just 10 years later later, all most all Nepalis have a cellular mobile phone.**
-
-
-
-**In 1960, 32 out of every 100 babies born died before they turned five. In 2015, three out of every 100 babies died before they turned five. The infant mortality rate has drastically decreased. There’s still a lot of progress to make! **
-
-
-
-**We know youth are the future of a country. In 1981, the youth literacy rate was about 30 percent. In 2015, the youth literacy rate was 90 percent. That means 9 in 10 Nepalis between ages 15 and 24 can read and write! That’s progress!**
-
-
-
-To be clear, Nepal is still one of the poorest countries in the world. There are a lot of challenges in Nepal. These charts show that Nepal has the potential to do better!

-Barpark, a town of 7,900 people was on its way to be a model village in Nepal. It had relatively good infrastructure and uninterrupted electricity. There were six schools, a health post, a police station, and about 20 small businesses.
-
-There are not many villages like this in Nepal.
-
-Like many other parts of Nepal, however, the primary source of income in Barpark is remittances from family members who are working abroad. Located about 1,900 meters above sea level, Barpark has gorgeous views of the Himalayas, and was a popular destination for tourists before the earthquake, which brought additional income to locals.
-
-But on April 25, 2015 things changed forever. Barpark, a town inhabited by ethnic groups like Gurungs and Sunuwars, became the epicenter of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal.
-
-Compared to other parts of Nepal, there was relatively higher media attention toward Barpark. But reliable data about the situation in Barpark wasn’t readily available. As part of Code for Nepal’s multi-year project, _Rahat Payo_, a group of surveyors visited Barpark in January 2016 — nine months after the earthquake — to assess whether relief efforts have been efficient and equitable, and what the immediate and long-term needs of people are, in Barpark.

-
-_Rahat Payo_ aims to fill a gap that exists in the aid distribution, relief and recovery process in the aftermath of the earthquake that killed over [8,500 people, destroyed more than 600,000 houses](https://codefornepal.org/2015/04/map-of-reported-nepalearthquake-deaths/) and affected at least 8 million people in Nepal. Our survey in Barpark follows Code for Nepal’s initial Rahat Payo pilot project conducted in August 2015 in 40 locations across five districts, covering 776 earthquake-affected people.
-
-In Barpark, Code for Nepal’s team of four surveyed 703 people, approximately 9% of the total population. 400 of the respondents (57%) were female. In the village, there were more women than men. Locals told us that it’s because men have left the village in search of jobs. The average age of the respondents was 42.
-
-While over 98% of the respondents said they received some form of relief within 1-8 weeks of the earthquake, most of them continued to live in temporary shelters, even as temperatures dropped below zero degrees celsius during the winter. Virtually everyone — 99.4% of respondents — said their house was destroyed or damaged. Over 18% were injured, and 5% had lost a relative.
-
-Even though most people don’t have houses to live in yet, over 97% of the respondents said the local government had the capacity to respond.
-
-Over 97% of the respondents said that they received relief materials from NGOs or INGOs. 32% also said that they received help from the government.
-
-Over 68% said that immediately after the earthquake, food supplies were the most important relief item to them, while 71% said sanitation supplies, 22% said medical supplies, and 66% said tents.
-
-When asked what was not available to them immediately, 81% said building materials, and 61% said cash.
-
-When asked about their priorities over the next five years, more than 26% said they would look for employment, more than 12% said they would seek foreign employment specifically, more than 63% said they would focus on their farms, and over 61% said rebuilding would be a priority.
-A few respondents, who commented on how relief could be improved in the future, emphasized the need for quick disbursement of cash and fairness when it comes to distributing relief materials.

-
-That women are harassed at home, in the workplace and in the streets of Nepal is well known. What was hidden was the true extent of the problem.
-
-Now, an online survey by Code For Nepal #IWalkFreely has shown not just the shocking extent of the problem but even more disturbing are the testimonies which speak of the horror Nepali girls and women face daily.
-
-‘I was once harassed by my own relative,’ wrote a 12-year-old girl. Another 13-year-old female respondent said: ‘I was walking alone in an alley in the evening and a man (not so old) groped me. I was totally shocked, couldn’t process what had just happened and he ran away.’
-
-By staying silent when a woman is being teased on the streets, bystanders accept that women will always be oppressed and let it flourish.
-
-‘Verbal teasing and unwanted looks are things that I don’t go a day without facing. Molestation has happened so many times you can’t count it on 5 fingers. Because that doesn’t mean this is only happening to me, thousands of other females in Nepal are just like me — and that shocks me,” wrote another respondent.
-
-There is little repressed anger in their words because what is happening to the girls and women is unfair and unjust. There is hurt, resignation.
-
-‘Once I was returning from school and some vagrant was flashing. Another time I was returning home from college in a bus and a guy was running his fingers over my thigh. I scolded him and he left the bus. I was walking in a crowd during Machindranath Jatra and an old man pinched my ass. Every day as I leave home I hear comments from people, no matter if I dress up in shorts and a tight dress or in a kurta,” wrote another.
-
-The #IWalkFreely survey collected over 1,000 responses and 98 percent of all women said they had been harassed. Besides the streets, 71 percent of respondents of both genders also reported harassment in public transportation, 63 percent said they were subjected to physical harassment of some form, and 20 percent reported sexual harassment.
-
-[
](https://codefornepal.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/IWalkFreely_Yes-No-Chart.png)
-
-Here is another respondent in the Code for Nepal survey: ‘During the India-Nepal Blockade, it was 7pm and carpooling was a highly chosen option. I also chose to take a lift at RNAC. My home was 30 minutes far and with a bike it can take only 10 minutes. So the motorcyclist and I were talking and going. Just some simple conversation. Then on the way there was a place where there was a bit of dark. He began to touch my legs. I told him to stop there and then. But he didn’t stop. Then he advanced his hands backwards again and touched my thighs. I screamed and he told me not to. I lied to him and said that my father is a DIG then he halted. I jumped off his bike and ran away. Crying and crying. I didn’t stop till I was near my home and didn’t even look back. I didn’t have the guts to tell anyone at home. I just cried all night and promised myself never to take a lift from strangers.’
-
-[
](https://codefornepal.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/IWalkFreely_Age-Chart.png)
-
-Nearly half the participants who said they had faced harassment were between 20-29 years old, and 41 percent were between 13 and 19. It isn’t only the figurative abduction of girls and women that we should fight against as a society. Street harassment, so often mistakenly seen as harmless, is a precursor to more severe forms of violence against women. So many of the stories respondents shared didn’t stop at confessing to being harassed on the streets. As illustrated by the sampling of anecdotes in this piece, girls and women in Nepal are exposed to greater dangers than cat calls and wolf whistles.
-
-‘As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to become more straightforward and unafraid of such men and stare directly at them and tell them exactly what I’m thinking or just throw up the middle finger and a dirty look,’ wrote one. It may be time to take some pointers from this brave young woman.
-
-Don’t shrug at these horrifying, heartbreaking stories. It is upon every man and woman to think of what can be done to change how these stories are shaped, to ensure they do not end with helpless rage or leave scars.

-According to [NepalMap](https://nepalmap.org/), a data reporting tool by Code for Nepal, six districts to have the highest projected female concentration in Nepal 2031 are:
-
-[Manang](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-39-manang/)
-[Parsa](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-33-parsa/)
-[ Mugu](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-53-mugu/)
-[ Bhaktapur](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-25-bhaktapur/)
-[ Lalitpur](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-26-lalitpur/)
- Kathmandu
-
-Districts such as Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, and Kathmandu are known for high literacy rate
-and gender equality, which could make them favorable living options for women.
-
-On the other hand, male counterparts in districts such as Manang, Parsa, and Mugu are known to travel gulf countries and India as migrant workers, which could explain for more female concentration left in such districts.

-With huge urban-rural disparity in use of electricity, solar based lighting has been beneficial in rural areas where infrastructure for electricity has not yet been developed.
-
-The data from [nepalmap.org](http://nepalmap.org/profiles/country-NP-nepal/) shows that 67% of people use electricity for lighting whereas while 18% people are dependent upon kerosene and 7% rely on solar energy. Browsing through data on [nepalmap.org](http://nepalmap.org) the following five district relies mostly on solar energy for lighting purposes:
-
-[Mugu](http://nepalmap.org/profiles/district-53-mugu/#households-lighting-fuel)
-
-[Dolpa](http://nepalmap.org/profiles/district-52-dolpa/#households-lighting-fuel)

Based on the [data](http://www.aepc.gov.np/?option=statistics&page=substatistics&mid=6&sub_id=51&id=5) collected by the Government of Nepal, there has been an exponential rise in the number of installation of solar home system in Nepal over the last 15 years. Use of solar in those places where there is no electricity is popular because of portability and low-cost. This has not only helped in lighting households but also has helped to raise living standard in many cases.
-
-For instance, students can have more study time on proper light at night, people can have access to tv, radio and hence get informed. The perspective of solar based technology not only serves for lighting but also for thermal generation. Though not hugely practiced, there is a huge prospect of using solar thermal technology for cooking also.
-
-As an initiative, [Nepal government](http://aepc.gov.np) has introduced more than 40% subsidiary scheme to promote Solar Thermal System, which could be used as an alternative for firewood for cooking purposes, Institutional cooker or dryer.

-Furthermore, the data distribution shows a wide discrepancy in the male to female ratio within the classes such as mathematics and statistics, law, engineering manufacturing and construction, computing, agriculture forestry and fishery.
-
-In these fields, the ratio is such that for every two males in the classroom there exists only a single female attending the same class. This discrepancy can be ascribed to several reasons. Fewer number of female enrolled in higher education, already existing disproportionate male-to-female ratio in higher educational status, social bias towards the education of female and prevalence of stereotypical mindset on fields of study that are “suitable” for females could be few of possible reasons.

-
-Winter usually signals the time when mountains start appearing in view from the outskirts of the Valley. But that hasn’t quite been the case these spast several years.
-
-This year, Kathmandu did not even have to wait for winter for the air pollution to become hazardous thanks to a combination of smoke from [crop residue burning in the Indian plains](http://nepalitimes.com/regular-columns/Comment/air-quality-data-to-figire-out-what-to-do,841), and dust from Kathmandu’s earthquake reconstruction and never-ending road-widening project.
-
-What is most alarming is the looming [health catastrophe triggered by this perpetual pollution](http://nepalitimes.com/regular-columns/guest-editorial/public-transport-is-equal-to-public-health,844). Hospitals report a surge in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and even lung cancer.
-
-[An online survey by Code For Nepal, #BreatheFreely](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdAKTHJ1_emQ0jMysBiJvkLeJEqATWBxTgyjMIBiuH_POwoKg/viewform), sheds light on the negative consequences of breathing this toxic air. Not surprisingly, most of the responses were from Kathmandu Valley.
-
-Of the 789 answers collected earlier this year, a staggering 76% stated that their health has been affected by the air pollution. Most cited were breathing problems, chest pain and eye infection.
-
-‘I can’t walk or ride my motorbike freely. I have to cover my whole body, from head to toe, just to block out the dust. If I don’t use a mask, I’ll have to suffer from the ensuing tonsilitis and dust allergy,’ wrote one respondent.
-
-The situation is even more difficult for people with existing respiratory problems: ‘I am an asthma patient and also have an allergy to dust and cold. So I have to think twice before I go out for a walk or even ride a scooter. Because of the pollution I have increased my meds to twice a day.’
-
-One respondent even stated that the primary motive behind his decision to study abroad was to get away from Kathmandu’s worsening pollution. Others noted that it is not only physical health that is impacted: ‘The pollution increases my stress level and I become irritated very easily when travelling between home and work.’

-Nearly 64% of respondents stated that they used masks on a daily basis. While air pollution is a round-the-clock problem, most said the period between 12-4pm was when the air quality was worst, probably because that is when they were out and about. Data collected from air monitoring stations by the group, Drishti, showed daily peaks in PM2.5 (the most harmful particles less than 2.5 microns in diameter) in the mornings and evenings in winter at 10 measurement stations in Kathmandu Valley.
-
-Drishti’s data also show that PM2.5 levels were highest from January to March 2016, reinforcing how inversion during winter months creates a dust-bowl effect, increasing the concentration of pollutants. The levels of fine particles were significantly higher between 8-11am.

-On 1 January 2017, PM 2.5 levels saw a high of 170.28µg/m³, much higher than the universally-accepted level of 15µg/m³. Between 7am-11am, PM 2.5 stayed consistently above 104µg/m³. With 10% more vehicles on the roads than last year, pollution will be even worse this winter.

-Winter usually signals the time when mountains start appearing in view from the outskirts of the Valley. But that hasn’t quite been the case these spast several years.
-
-This year, Kathmandu did not even have to wait for winter for the air pollution to become hazardous thanks to a combination of smoke from [crop residue burning in the Indian plains](http://nepalitimes.com/regular-columns/Comment/air-quality-data-to-figire-out-what-to-do,841), and dust from Kathmandu’s earthquake reconstruction and never-ending road-widening project.
-
-What is most alarming is the looming [health catastrophe triggered by this perpetual pollution](http://nepalitimes.com/regular-columns/guest-editorial/public-transport-is-equal-to-public-health,844).

-
-Of the 789 answers collected earlier this year, a staggering 76% stated that their health has been affected by the air pollution. Most cited were breathing problems, chest pain and eye infection.

-‘I can’t walk or ride my motorbike freely. I have to cover my whole body, from head to toe, just to block out the dust. If I don’t use a mask, I’ll have to suffer from the ensuing tonsilitis and dust allergy,’ wrote one respondent.

-The situation is even more difficult for people with existing respiratory problems: ‘I am an asthma patient and also have an allergy to dust and cold. So I have to think twice before I go out for a walk or even ride a scooter. Because of the pollution I have increased my meds to twice a day.’
-
-One respondent even stated that the primary motive behind his decision to study abroad was to get away from Kathmandu’s worsening pollution.

-Forests are of great importance to any country. They contribute significantly to the environment, economic and social well being of the country. Owing to the numerous benefits and the products of the forests it can be easily stated that forests are one of the invaluable gifts of nature to humankind. They are an indispensable part of our earth’s ecological system.
-
-A joint five-year survey conducted by the Department of Forest Research and Survey and the National Forest Products Survey Project in between 2067 to 2071 BS, shows that of the total 147,181 square kilometers area of Nepal, forest area makes up 44.74 percent. Of it, 40.36 percent is covered by forest and remaining 4.38 percent is scrubland. It is necessary for a developing country like Nepal to conserve its forest resources as forest plays a significant role in the development of a nation.

-Forests are of great importance to any country. They contribute significantly to the environment, economic and social well being of the country. Owing to the numerous benefits and the products of the forests it can be easily stated that forests are one of the invaluable gifts of nature to humankind. They are an indispensable part of our earth’s ecological system.
-
-A joint five-year survey conducted by the Department of Forest Research and Survey and the National Forest Products Survey Project in between 2067 to 2071 BS, shows that of the total 147,181 square kilometers area of Nepal, forest area makes up 44.74 percent. Of it, 40.36 percent is covered by forest and remaining 4.38 percent is scrubland. It is necessary for a developing country like Nepal to conserve its forest resources as forest plays a significant role in the development of a nation.

-**The top 10 list of districts with abundant forest land are as follows:**

-Hi, I am Nischal Poudel—a Nepali student currently in a high school in the UK. This summer, I volunteered with Code for Nepal, a non-profit working to increase digital literacy and the use of open data. Our plan for the summer was to initiate projects of digital literacy and open data in Pokhara, a beautiful city in Nepal.
-
-To finance these plans, I first organized a fundraiser. We were able to raise $290 (Rs. 31500), and I am really grateful to the donors who contributed online and offline. Then, I started to work.
-
-At first, I went to two public schools (Shree Ram Jyoti Secondary school and Amar Jyoti Gau-Farka Secondary School) and had a session titled ‘Make the most out of IT’ with the class 10 students. The goal was to enable them to get the most use out of whatever technology they currently have access to.
-
-In the session, we discussed how today’s digital offerings can break Nepal’s infrastructural limitations, and how the students could use technology for various purposes like:
-
- * learning a new skill or completing a full academic degree online from Western universities;
- * doing jobs remotely in the tech field;
- * operating a business and using technology to sell products locally and globally.
-
-Next, I organized a mini-workshop on open data. At Code for Nepal, we believe that people need to have access to accurate data so that they can make better decisions. In addition to increasing access to data through

-But we’re not just talking about air pollution in Kathmandu here: the increase in the level of pollutants have dire consequences in health and environment across Nepal and beyond. It is a worrying thought that more people over time feel the need to wear masks on a daily basis to protect themselves.
-
-We’ve seen the scientific numbers behind the air pollution but now we want to hear directly from you on how you have been affected by the degrading air quality. This survey called “How polluted is Nepal?” aims to understand the situation of air pollution, focusing on its long-term impacts, and finding solutions beyond just the numbers.
-
-We need to start having an evidence-based conversation surrounding air pollution so that prompt actions can be taken to improve the quality of the air we live in.
-
-Please share this survey with your friends via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or email so we can gather more data. If you want to share photos or videos depicting air pollution in your cities, please use the hashtag #breathefreely when you share them.
-
-We want to hear how you have been impacted and what we can do together to make our cities and our country clean again. After all, we all deserve a chance to #breathefreely.

-Looking at old photos of Nepal makes me strangely nostalgic of a past I never saw. Pristine hills and mountains, clear blue skies, acres upon acres of greenery, the list pretty much goes on. While parts of the country still remains intact in its natural beauty, the same cannot be said for our cities. Rampant urban development have turned our major cities into dust bowls, with Kathmandu being impacted the most, and earning itself the most unfortunate nickname: _Dustmandu_.
-
-Nepal’s air quality ranked 177th out of 178 countries according to Yale University’s 2014 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and it has only been a downward spiral since then. Cities are choking under layers of dust, most prominently since the 2015 earthquake and the reconstruction efforts that followed. The level of pollutants in the atmosphere have been steadily increasing and remain dangerously above the norm.

-In August-September 2015, [**Code for Nepal**](https://codefornepal.org/) conducted a pilot survey project in Nepal to gather data on earthquake survivors’ receipt of relief in the initial weeks and months following the April and May 2015 earthquakes. We designed the pilot survey to capture how the involved stakeholders provided immediate relief and to identify any unmet needs among survivors.

-
-
-**5.** During the past few years, thanks to social media, more people have been able to express their opinions and shape public debate in Nepal. Last year, #OccupyBaluwatar was organized by a group of young, civic minded and social media savvy individuals.
-One of the key organizers of the movement, Pranika Koyu, shared her experience of how people used social media to organize themselves and protest against violence against women in Nepal.

-**8**. The digital empowerment training was specifically for women, but like most industries in Nepal, the social media market is heavily dominated by men. Shilpa Singhal is a social media and marketing expert with Janaki Technology. She shared her experience and talked about social media marketing strategies.
-
-
-
-**9.** Our digital empowerment training was not just about social media and digital skills but also about leadership. Our students practiced public speaking with Smarika KC, a leading Nepalese debater who competes internationally.

-**10.** Mia Mitchell, Co-founder of Code for Nepal, taught students about Wikipedia and the gender disparity among Wikipedia editors. She also showed students how to set up their own accounts and make edits to the online encyclopedia.
-
-**11.** We know that you can’t be fully digitally empowered if you don’t know how to access, clean and visualize data. Ravi Kumar, Co-founder of Code for Nepal, gave students hands-on training on how to use open data to create visualizations that can aid policymakers.
-
-
-
- **12.** If 10 years ago, English was the most important language to learn to do well in the world, now, the equivalent of English is coding. Prerana Paudel, a computer science student gave an introductory HTML/CSS presentation to our fellows. After the presentation, our fellows created accounts on Codecademy.

- -- Non-profit initiative seeks to train more women in digital skills to expand their professional opportunities -
- -- Kathmandu, NEPAL: Code for Nepal, a U.S.-based initiative working to increase open data and digital skills in Nepal, especially for women, will run a Digital Empowerment Training for women from July 21 to August 1, 2014, at Wigan and Leigh College in Kathmandu. Twenty young women are expected to attend the two-week training, where they will learn from some of Nepal’s top journalists, social media strategists, and entrepreneurs. Guest lecturers for the workshop include: Amit Agrawal, CEO of Janaki Technology Pvt. Ltd; Rajneesh Bhandari, multimedia journalist; Jemima Sherpa, blogger; and Pranika Koya, writer and activist, among others. Students will gain valuable digital skills during the program, including social media management, blogging, and coding. -
- -- The 20 young women applied to attend the training in order to boost their digital skills, noting in their applications that they were especially interested in coding and using the Internet for their career growth. One woman wrote for her application that she was “keen to bring forward the female part of population to contribute to the development of the nation.” -
- -- The training was designed based on a nationwide survey that Code for Nepal conducted in June and July of this year to better understand what women are interested in learning about computers and the Internet. More than 200 women took the survey, which was conducted online and offline. The Digital Empowerment Training in Kathmandu this month incorporates their input and comes at a key time for women in Nepal. As Ravi Kumar, Code for Nepal Co-Founder, puts it: “Digitally empowering young women will be key to tackling challenges such as gender-based violence and slow economic growth in Nepal.” -
- -- About Code for Nepal: Code for Nepal (www.codefornepal.org) is a U.S.-based organization that works to inform, inspire, and equip Nepalis, especially women, to use technology and social media to improve their lives and help tackle challenges in their communities. It was founded in 2014 by Ravi Kumar, a Nepali living and working in the U.S., and Mia Mitchell, a graduate student at Harvard University. -

-When I was a kid, I wondered how many other people lived in Dhanusa, my home district on the southern border of Nepal. I asked my parents. They had no idea. They guessed. I remained curious.
-
-Years later, when I was in college in the U.S., I wanted to look up data on Nepal to write research papers or to tell my friends about my home country. There were existing resources with data but often it was incomplete, or would only include national averages. I was not able to find out how many people lived in each district, for example.
-
-The data must have existed somewhere, as Nepal has been conducting censuses for at least a century, starting in 1911. But it’s only been with the rise of the Internet that data has been, in theory, more widely available. However, most of the Nepal census data online today is still locked in PDF format, making it inconvenient for users to analyze and share. We wanted to change that.
-
-In 2014, my wife and I co-founded Code for Nepal, a non-profit to increase digital literacy and the use of open data in Nepal. This month, Code for Nepal is excited to launch the beta version of www.nepalmap.org, a web app that puts data about Nepal at your fingertips!
-
-NepalMap helps users to find and understand data on Nepal easily, and will be useful to anyone who seeks to learn more about Nepal via data.
-
-Whether you live in Morang or Mahottari, you can use NepalMap to find out how many people in your district have passed School Leaving Certificate (SLC), or how many people still use wood to cook food.
-
-You can compare two districts and find out which one has a higher life expectancy or more toilets. Very soon, Village Development Committee data will be available too.
-
-Journalists, researchers, and students will find NepalMap to be one of their best friends as they are looking for data. Entrepreneurs and businesses can better understand an area in which they are looking to do business by using NepalMap. Anyone can embed charts from NepalMap on their websites or download the data for their own use.
-
-Building a tool is just the first step. I believe for us to better understand our challenges, we have to have an evidence-based conversation. I hope all of us can use an app like NepalMap to explore and understand Nepal better.
-
-NepalMap would not have been possible without the generosity of many people. It is based on Wazimap, which is based on Census Reporter. At Code for Nepal, we are especially grateful to Clifton McIntosh, for serving as the lead developer for NepalMap. Amit Chaudhary and other Code for Nepal volunteers along with Clifton, continue to work to make NepalMap better.
-
-Next time someone asks you how they can look for data on Nepal, I hope you will refer them to NepalMap.org. Had I and my parents had NepalMap, when I was a kid, it would have helped me to better understand where I came from. Better late than never.
-
-Onward.

-**Code for Nepal** is pleased to support Digital Governance Hackathon 2017. The hackathon is being organized in Kathmandu, Nepal on 11-12 February 2017 at Hotel Hardik, Bagbazaar.
-
-The aim of the hackathon is to connect software developers to government and nonprofit organizations to produce digital products around issues of Civic Engagement, Open Government and Open Data, Financial Technology, Accountability, Democratic Policy Making, Education and Health and Digital Services to Public.
-
-The event is being hosted by American Embassy, with support from Ministry of Education, Hello Sarkar Nepal, National Federation of Disabled-Nepal(NFD-N), Federation of Nepali Journalists(FNJ), [MaxConnect](http://home.maxconnectworld.com/), chakrapath.com, Code For Nepal and [Programiz](https://www.programiz.com).
-
-Hackathons are one of many initiatives going on to promote digital governance in Nepal. Code for Nepal recently released [nepalmap.org](http://www.nepalmap.org), a platform to explore and understand Nepal using data. We recently partnered with Women Development Advocacy Center (WDAC), a non-profit in Nepal, to support a computer learning center in Janakpur, a town in southern borders of Nepal.
-
-We hope that the hackathon is able to provide much needed technological support to projects initiated by government and non-profits.

-**Code for Nepal** is pleased to support Digital Governance Hackathon 2017. The hackathon is being organized in Kathmandu, Nepal on 11-12 February 2017 at Hotel Hardik, Bagbazaar.
-
-The aim of the hackathon is to connect software developers to government and nonprofit organizations to produce digital products around issues of Civic Engagement, Open Government and Open Data, Financial Technology, Accountability, Democratic Policy Making, Education and Health and Digital Services to Public.
-
-The event is being hosted by American Embassy, with support from Ministry of Education, Hello Sarkar Nepal, National Federation of Disabled-Nepal(NFD-N), Federation of Nepali Journalists(FNJ), [MaxConnect](http://home.maxconnectworld.com/), chakrapath.com, Code For Nepal and [Programiz](https://www.programiz.com).
-
-Hackathons are one of many initiatives going on to promote digital governance in Nepal. Code for Nepal recently released [nepalmap.org](http://www.nepalmap.org), a platform to explore and understand Nepal using data. We recently partnered with Women Development Advocacy Center (WDAC), a non-profit in Nepal, to support a computer learning center in Janakpur, a town in southern borders of Nepal.
-
-We hope that the hackathon is able to provide much needed technological support to projects initiated by government and non-profits.

- 1. Computers are the uncontested source of knowledge.
- 2. Computers are gateway to information and the potential to learn through them are vast. Having a computer can expand the resources available to the school as well as facilitate the much-needed computer literacy.
- 3. It is our right, sanctioned by the constitution. The constitution of Nepal promulgated in 2015 states that the public should be able to easily access information. The policy also adds that this ease of access to information should be ensured through expansion of information technology as it is in necessary for accelerating the nation’s development. Having computer literacy at school level is aligned with this policy and imparts computer literacy among the Nepali population.
- 4. Keeping up with the changing world. With the current expansion of information technology and its reach, it is only fair that computer literacy is prioritized. Countries around the world have incorporated computer classes in the core curriculum of schools and when every academic field has an extension rooted in computer technology, it is only logical to attain computer literacy to keep up with the changing world.
- 5. Skill development. Computer literacy is a very crucial skill to have in the 21st century. If computer literacy is incorporated in school curriculum, it allows students to attain computer skills which they can utilize for academic, employment or even developmental opportunities.
- 6. Increased employment opportunity. As mentioned earlier, knowledge of computer skills or proficiency in computer literacy allows a person to pursue more job opportunities.
- 7. Earlier the better. The earlier the students are introduced to computers, the easier it will be for them to grasp the concepts and be able to pursue it.
-
-Having computers is a win-win situation for all. However, the current state of computer literacy in Nepal is still in its nascent stage. Many schools across the nation are still struggling to afford a computer, let alone offer articulate courses. Following info-graphs gives us a glimpse of the current status of computer literacy in Nepal.

-**U**Code for Nepal has identified the importance of open data and since its establishments the organization has been proactively providing data on its website related to various sectors like education, women empowerment and so on. Code for Nepal has been successfully able to synthesize the open data and reach the masses with important and critical information worldwide.
-
-Code for Nepal conducted a pilot research and data collection project in the first half of 2015 to assess the presence of women in Nepal’s online media. The data collection and infographic published by Code for Nepal, was well received by [Nepali Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepali_Times) and Setopati. Code for Nepal also received a media mention for the data mining by Nepali Times on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/nepalitimes/status/632903423441047557).
-
-The organization also partners with other media houses and journalists in Nepal to formulate databases stories. Report prepared by Center for Public Expenditure and Openspending.org was analyzed to publish an infographic on [“How much does it cost to run Kathmandu?”](https://codefornepal.org/2015/08/how-much-does-it-cost-to-run-kathmandu/) by Code for Nepal. Similarly, key data about [status of women](https://codefornepal.org/2015/03/status-of-women-in-nepal-in-5-charts/) based on a report by World Bank was also published by Code for Nepal on International Women’s day in 2015.
-Moreover, Code for Nepal has also published important data about [Women Prisoners in Nepal ](https://codefornepal.org/2015/02/numbers-of-female-prisoners-increased-by-239-in-nepal/)and has shed light on the issue. By sharing the embed code to the interested parties, Code for Nepal promotes the use of open data and sharing quality information on the web.

-In 2011, two percent (1.94%; 513,321) of the total population of Nepal reported having “some kind of disability,” according to the Nepal Census.
-
-**Here’s a breakdown of the different types of disabilities: **
-
- * Physical disability: 36.3 percent of the disabled population
- * Blindness/Low vision: 18.5 percent
- * Deaf/Hard of hearing: 15.4 percent
- * Speech problem: 11.5 percent
- * Multiple disabilities: 7.5 percent
- * Mental disability: 6 percent
- * Intellectual disability: 2.9 percent
- * Deaf-Blind: 1.8%
-
-**Here are the five districts with the highest of number of physically disabled people, based on the 2011 Census:**
-
- 1. Kathmandu 6,030
- 2. Morang 6,029
- 3. Kailali 5,631
- 4. Jhapa 5,524
- 5. Surkhet 4,627
-
-**It’s estimated that after the [earthquakes in 2015](https://codefornepal.org/en/2015/04/map-of-reported-nepalearthquake-deaths/), the number of disabled persons in Nepal has likely increased.** Because of the earthquakes, [thousands of Nepalis](http://nepal.iom.int/jupgrade/index.php/en/earthquake-response/20-cat-latest-news/186-restoring-dignity-to-disabled-people-in-post-quake-nepal) were “temporarily or permanently disabled through crush or other injuries.”
-
-Nepal has historically lacked the capacity to assist the disabled population either by creating accessible infrastructure or providing support in other ways. After the earthquake, the National Federation of the Disabled, Nepal (NFDN), released an [urgent appeal](http://www.nfdn.org.np/appeal) to advocate for the “inclusion of persons with disabilities in Disaster Response Programs.”

-As we know, things are pretty unpredictable in Nepal. Right before the [Digital Nepal Conference – Janakpur](http://digitalnepal.org), because of unfortunate and tragic events, a strike was announced. After monitoring the situation closely, talking to people, and considering the high demand from youths in the region, [Code for Nepal](https://codefornepal.org) decided that it would be OK to go forward with the conference.
-
-I had only been to Janakpur once as a child many years ago. As someone who had not really explored the southern parts of the country, I decided to go to Janakpur despite the challenges of the strike. Frankly, my friend, Avinash, and I were both a bit nervous. However, we were also very excited.
-
-We decided to fly on March 8. I almost did not make it to the airport on time because of heavy traffic on the road in Kathmandu. After all the hassle, when we landed safely in Janakpur, Ravi and the Code for Nepal team were there to greet us at the airport. It was so reassuring to see familiar faces. Half of the passengers who traveled on that plane were attending the conference. Isn’t that amazing?
-
-From the airport, we took a Tuk Tuk. It was my first time riding a Tuk Tuk. On the way to the hotel, I realized how clean and beautiful Janakpur had become (Ravi says the town used to be cleaner when he was growing up there). Most importantly, the weather was perfect. Later that day, we also visited Janaki Mandir and surrounding ponds. Janakpur is such a religious and historical town. People are friendly.
-
-That evening, there was a journalism workshop for local journalists of Janakpur. It was a normal kind of workshop, similar to ones I used to see more frequently while attending events in Kathmandu. The workshop was facilitated by Dietrich Ayala, David and Ravi Kumar Nepal, where participants learned about using technology for storytelling. But it was when the team of Accountability Lab started the discussion about Open Government, that I saw the enthusiasm of participants. They openly discussed how the concept of Open Government can be helpful for all Nepalese citizens. Some also shared problems that they are facing, which can only be solved by governments.

-
-Since there was a strike that day, there was nothing much to expect. But thanks to Pratap Adhikari from [Association of Youth Organizations Nepal (AYON)](http://ayon.org) who made our night awesome. He took us on a Janakpur tour, during which we visited almost all the important temples and ponds of Janakpur. We also enjoyed watching puja happening at Ganga Sagar, and more importantly enjoying the taste of Janakpur lassi was an awesome feeling.
-
-On the 2nd day of the conference, I joined Alisha Chettri from the [Women Development Advocacy Center](http://www.wdac.org.np) at the registration desk. This gave me a chance to understand how diverse the conference was going to be. Yes, diverse – which is hard to see in Kathmandu-based events. Young students, housewives, shopkeepers, journalists and community leaders were there to attend the conference. Female participants were also in a good number.
-
-The conference started and as usual, I started snapping photos to post them on our social media account, which I believe is one of the best ways to do documentation of an event. Taking photos, listening to speakers and going Facebook Live sometimes, I was enjoying it. However, I found it interesting when participants started asking questions to presenters. This showed how enthusiastic they were. They were engaged in all presentations and panel discussions. Asking questions, sharing their views, interactions were from both sides. After all the presentations and panel discussions, a token of love was given to each presenter, and t-shirts were given to all participants. Some left the venue and the rest of us went for a group photo. Ohh, group photo and my selfie 😛

-
-After the conference ended, we caught up with Pratap Adhikari again and went to taste Janakpur fish. Don’t know whether I should be saying it or not, but that evening I came to know that strong beer is found only in Terai districts. After enjoying the fish, we went for dinner where Ravi gave us a treat, and I must say that the food was amazing. Later that night, Dietrich and I enjoyed an omelet of a duck egg also.

-
-I must say that my three-day-visit of Janakpur was awesome, and this time my experience was different. My contribution at [Digital Nepal Conference](http://digitalnepal.org) was limited, but the conference gave me an opportunity to enjoy and interact with nice people of Janakpur. Hope this kind of event will be organized outside of the valley more frequently.

Don’t know whether I should be saying it or not, but that evening I came to know that strong beer is found only in Terai districts. After enjoying the fish, we went for dinner where Ravi gave us a treat, and I must say that the food was amazing. Later that night, Dietrich and I enjoyed an omelet of a duck egg also.

-I must say that my three-day-visit of Janakpur was awesome, and this time my experience was different. My contribution at [Digital Nepal Conference](http://digitalnepal.org) was limited, but the conference gave me an opportunity to enjoy and interact with nice people of Janakpur. Hope this kind of event will be organized outside of the valley more frequently.

-_I get into the bus; it was all empty except for a group of 6-7 men in their thirties I suppose. As I pass through them to occupy an empty seat at the back, I feel someone pinching my butt. It was so sudden, painful, infuriating and embarrassing. I could have turned around, punched the person who did it on the face and broke his nose, but I stayed quiet and occupied a seat. I did NOTHING!_
-
-These are some real-life experiences of women who travel (or have traveled) in a public vehicle. Some have been shared by friends and some are my own. Often, I tend to think about the times that I have been through these horrifying experiences. The ones who have been through this would clearly know how frustrating it is to be treated like an object to taunt, have fun with. What’s more infuriating is not being able to reply back to them or to take a stand for yourself, enduring it all the way. This feeling breaks you up, eats you alive and even with that, you manage to put a smile on your face like nothing has happened. People around you give you the tag of an arrogant, rude woman and you don’t try to explain because they wouldn’t understand.
-
-Even if you’re one of those who have learned to take a stand for themselves, and vent out their anger upon the shit-headed perverted minds (excuse my use of language here), get ready to be treated with stares and whispers from the pathetic audience (to whom it may concern) who judge you or are entertained by what’s going on, instead of giving you a big round of applause.
-
-Not that I blame only the society for this, but it’s us individuals who need to learn to fight, to help ourselves. I know how hard it is (been there, done that) to counter-attack the person who attacked you (thanks to fear and a lack of confidence, thanks to Crime Patrol, thanks to the people who stuffed us with the “keti manche bhayepachi estai huncha, chod deu” philosophy). I still remember a question that was asked on a Facebook page: “What would you do if you were a parent?” to which I had replied, “I would send my kids to self-defense classes.” It would be good to have a karate kid of your own, wouldn’t it?
-
-It took me long to build up courage, to realize that I have got the power in me and that I should stop expecting others to be good. It took me long to become the strong person that I am today. What I have realized is that you don’t even need to try so hard. For example, I had a similar encounter about a year ago. A man in his 50’s probably, sat beside me on a public vehicle and was very keen to poke on my breast repeatedly, with his elbow. I politely told him “Uncle, afno haat lai samhalera rakhnus“ in a voice loud enough for everyone in the vehicle to hear. In a second, he got up and jumped off the moving vehicle. Not bad, eh?
-
-What I am trying to say with all these rants is that YOU are the one! YOU are the one who can bring about change. YOU are the one who has got the power to end this. YOU are the hope and YOU are the danger. You’ve got the power. Utilize it. Be a fighter, not a victim.

-Firewood has been a traditional source of fuel to cook in Nepal. Though few districts now use LPG gas and electricity, let’s take a look at what the data reveals.
-
-According to the data from [nepalmap.org](http://www.nepalmap.org), [64%](http://nepalmap.org/profiles/country-NP-nepal/#households-cooking-fuel) people in Nepal are still dependent upon wood to cook their food. That means out 6 out of every 10 Nepali still uses wood to cook their food.

-Here are the districts with the highest percentage of people dependent upon firewood for cooking:
-
-Mugu: 99%
-
-[Rukum](http://nepalmap.org/profiles/district-57-rukum/#households-cooking-fuel) 98%
-

-
-[Taplejung](http://nepalmap.org/profiles/district-01-taplejung/#households-cooking-fuel) 96%

-
-With forests being destroyed for fuel, there is a need for alternative sources of energy for fuel.
-
-Some alternatives could be a solar based cooker, bio-briquettes, biogas and so on. Many households have already harnessed benefits from such options and usage has been increasing steadily in various parts of Nepal.
-
-Based on solar potential, many districts use solar based lightening however only a few districts use solar based cooking methods.

-_Editor’s note: _
-
-_“I have gotten used to verbal and sexual harassment. How terrible of a sentence is that?! Nobody should ever, ever get ‘used’ to things like that._”
-
-Nothing brings more clarity to the grim reality of the normalcy with which girls and women are harassed on the streets of Nepal than this excerpt from a participant story from our #IWalkFreely online survey. Indeed, no one should be exposed to harassment to such a degree that they start getting used to it, but it’s hardly surprising that we are seeing this resigned acceptance of the misogynistic norm among our youth.
-
-The #IWalkFreely survey amassed over 1000 responses and an overwhelming 92% of the participants reported they had been harassed on the streets in one form or another. More bleak still, 98% of all women participants stated they had been harassed making this an indisputably gender based issue.
-
-Besides the streets, 71% of the participants also reported getting harassed in public transportations. 63% of the participants reported physical harassment of some form, 63% also reported being exposed to verbal harassment, and 20% reported sexual harassment.
-
-
-
-One of the most insidious ways in which harassment thrives in our society is through the collective dismissal of its gravity. The problem is woven into the very fabric of our society, yet people are unwilling to acknowledge it. Instead, there is constant and casual deflection of the issue spurred by an internalized toxicity which has allowed this kind of heinous behavior to go unchecked for so long.
-
-49% of the participants who said they had faced harassment were between 20 and 29 years old. Similarly, over 41% of the participants who answered in the affirmative when asked if they’d ever experienced harassment were between the ages of 13 and 19. This means a disturbing majority of the people who are harassed in our country are girls and young women.
-
-Participant stories illustrated that victims were very often too embarrassed to talk about what had happened with their parents or authorities, fearful that the shame of the act would fall upon them, not the perpetrators. **_Boys will be boys_**. _They won’t say anything if you cover up. Just pretend you didn’t hear them. They’ll stop if you don’t pay attention to them. _
-
-Being a young girl in Nepal, one is likely to hear this sort of dismissive rhetoric if she does try to talk about harassment with her mother or a female teacher. This is primarily why victims are more inclined to endure silently instead of trying to report the culprits. Girls are being conditioned to think their pain is not important, their bodies not their own to command but for boys and men to ogle and objectify.
-
-In a society that has done the utmost to all but erase the female sexuality, adolescent girls are forced to deal with their changing physiques while simultaneously made to feel compelled to hide their development and growth, because being obvious might attract unwanted attention on the streets or their classroom or the micro bus. This poisonous socio-cultural trend will never change unless we, collectively as Nepali citizens, acknowledge that objectification of girls and women and the consequent harassment that they are subjected to is a national epidemic.
-
-It’s easy to discern from the data that harassment is ubiquitous—one would have to stay home at all times, with their doors padlocked if they wish to dodge harassment in Nepal.
-
-What we need to take away from these startling numbers is not the idea of urging our girls to become shut-ins, but the intent to spread awareness about this toxic epidemic and start conversations on all social and educational levels to teach our boys that girls are just as much human as they are, girls warrant just as much respect as boys do, girls deserve to walk freely on the streets without having to worry about being dehumanized through objectification.

Young girls are being conditioned to think their pain is not important, their bodies not their own to command but for boys and men to ogle and objectify. In a society that has done the utmost to all but erase the female sexuality, adolescent girls are forced to deal with their changing physiques while simultaneously made to feel compelled to hide their development and growth, because being obvious might attract unwanted attention on the streets or their classroom or the micro bus. This poisonous socio-cultural trend will never change unless we, collectively as Nepali citizens, acknowledge that objectification of girls and women and the consequent harassment that they are subjected to is a national epidemic.
-
-It’s easy to discern from the data that harassment is ubiquitous—one would have to stay home at all times, with their doors padlocked if they wish to dodge harassment in Nepal. What we need to take away from these startling numbers is not the idea of urging our girls to become shut-ins, but the intent to spread awareness about this toxic epidemic and start conversations on all social and educational levels to teach our boys that girls are just as much human as they are, girls warrant just as much respect as boys do, girls deserve to walk freely on the streets without having to worry about being dehumanized through objectification.

-About a week ago, I, along with three other friends, all girls, decided to go for a quick dinner in Durbar Magh. It about 9.00 pm that we were all done and started heading back home.
-
-As we were walking back, a group of men started to walk along with us, slowing their pace with ours and almost surrounding all of us in their group. Frightened, we quietly attempted to hurry past the group to which they responded by saying things like “Oho! Esto K hattar? (What’s the hurry?)” and “Kata Bhageko? (Where are you running off to?)”.
-
-After minutes of surrounding us, they finally decided to leave us alone and went off to another venture, having succeeded at using us to entertain themselves for a few minutes. Not long after that, just as we started to get into the car, a middle-aged man walked past us and “accidentally” groped my friend’s little sister from the back.
-
-We all look at him as she screamed, he looked back at us, smiled, simply said “sorry” and made his way ahead. These two incidents occurred within 10 minutes of one night in Kathmandu.
-Feeling frightened, helpless, and violated in the streets is almost a daily occurrence for women in Nepal. Be it getting constant stares from men in the streets, the supposedly “flattering” words we are quietly forced to hear, or on many occasions the “accidental” gropes that we have to pretend never happened, all leave us feeling helpless and terrified in the same streets we have to walk everyday. The worse part of it all, though? It’s how it’s hardly ever talked about let alone addressed this problem.
-
-Being tired of the street harassment, [I, and Code for Nepal](https://www.facebook.com/codefornepal/videos/529654143910505/), have decided to start a campaign to at least start talking about street harassment and how we can combat it in Nepal. This project is called “I Walk Freely” and is created to help the many out there who are unable to do so today. Over the next few weeks, we will be refining this project and releasing little bits and pieces along the way. We will also launch a survey to gather data on street harassment.
-
-However, #**IWalkFreely is in its initial phase right now, and what it needs the most to develop is you!**
-
-We need you to start talking about this project, and about street harassment in Nepal. If you have faced any forms of street harassment, share it with us and show your support. If you are not comfortable doing that, just show us your support by sharing this message and using the hashtag [#IWalkFreely](https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/iwalkfreely?source=feed_text).
-
-If you don’t have a harassment story, share this message and pledge that you will not support any forms of harassment against fellow men or women and do you best to fight against it.
-
-Together, I believe that we can build a Nepal where every person, man or woman, has the ability to walk freely. But for now, let’s simply start talking about it. #IWalkFreely

-The six districts namely Humla, Bajhang, Baitadi, Surkhet, Doti, Achham, Okhaldhunga, Terhathum, Panchthar have a staggeringly high percentage of child malnourishment rate, all above 56 percent, with Humla being the district with the highest number of children malnourished. Only 4 out of 10 children in Humla get proper nourishment which is an alarming statistics.
-
-**Here are six districts with the highest rate of malnourished children under age five in Nepal**
-
- * [Humla](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-56-humla/#child-health)
- * [Tehrahathum](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-08-tehrathum/)

- * [Surkhet](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-64-surkhet/)

-To find out malnourishment rates for children under age five in your districts, check out this **[interactive map](http://www.nepalmap.org/data/map/?table=CHILD_NOURISHMENT&geo_ids=district|country-NP,vdc|district-21,district|country-NP,district|country-NP&primary_geo_id=district-21#column%7Cpercent%20malnourished%2Csumlev%7Cdistrict). **
-
-Possible reasons for such distribution could be poverty, lack of fertile land for cultivation: geography, climate being possible causes, unavailability of roads and other means of transport, lack of proper awareness and education, diseases accompanied during childbirth.
-
- To reduce the number of malnourished children, here are a few suggestions:
-
- * Reliable transportation facility throughout the nation for the distribution of local, nutritious products in cheaper rates.
- * Education and dissemination of information on nutrition. The government should also train local farmers on efficient agricultural practices such as crop rotation.
- * Allocation of funding to child nutrition programs.
- * Expand reach through community health workers
- * Research and development to increase crop yields.

-Children are considered to be the foundation that the future of a nation rests upon. Only a proper investment in today’s children will bring us a better tomorrow.
-
-But a quick glance at child nourishment data shows by nepalmap.org shows that [40 %](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/country-NP-nepal/#child-health) children under the age of five in Nepal are malnourished. Under such scenario, almost half of the children in Nepal do not get a well-balanced meal, which is bound to hamper nation’s development.
-[](https://codefornepal.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/code_for_nepal_students_2-e1418614920650.jpg)
-
-The six districts namely Humla, Bajhang, Baitadi, Surkhet, Doti, Achham, Okhaldhunga, Terhathum, Panchthar have a staggeringly high percentage of child malnourishment rate, all above 56 percent, with Humla being the district with the highest number of children malnourished. Only 4 out of 10 children in Humla get proper nourishment which is an alarming statistics.
-
-[Humla](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-56-humla/#child-health): 65.7
-
-Tehrahathum : 63.4
-
-[Bajhang](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-56-humla/) : 63.2
-
-Achham and Baitadi : 59.2
-
-Surkhet : 57.9
-
-Ordering districts according to lowest percentage of children malnourished
-
-[Lalitpur](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-26-lalitpur/) : 16.2
-
-[Kavrepalanchowk](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-24-kavrepalanchok/#child-health) : 21.7
-
-[Kaski ](http://www.nepalmap.org/profiles/district-40-kaski/): 22.9
-
-Jhapa : 24. 2
-
-Makwanpur : 25.1
-
- Possible reasons for such distribution could be poverty, lack of fertile land for cultivation: geography, climate being possible causes, unavailability of roads and other means of transport, lack of proper awareness and education, diseases accompanied during childbirth.
-
- To reduce the number of malnourished children, the following could be few suggestions:
-
-1.Excellent transportation facility throughout the nation for the distribution of local, nutritious products in cheaper rates.
-
-2. Education and dissemination of information on nutrition. The government should also train local farmers on efficient agricultural practices such as crop rotation.
-
-3.Allocation of funding to child nutrition programs.
-
-4.Expand reach through community health workers
-
-5.Research and development to increase crop yields.

- -- With 1,744,240 current Population according to National Population and Housing Census 2011, Kathmandu is one of the densely populated districts of Nepal. The reason for this are higher education, employment opportunity, only international airport and the capital city. The projected population of the city by 2031 is 2,729,056. -

- With $2,764 Per capita income in US dollars, most of the people in Kathmandu speak Nepali language and more importantly, only 7.6% (128,297) of the total population is in poverty. Education is one of the sectors which Kathmandu dominates, 86% of people can Read and Write, whereas 37% choose the Business field for their higher study. Unlike other districts, with 72% Female and 74% Male, the percentage of school attendance is almost same. Which is hard to see in the Terai and Himalayan districts. -

- It is my privilege to be a part of Code for Nepal. I have learned so many things being a fellow of Code for Nepal. And the most crucial for me being a #C4N14 Fellow is my final project. As part of the Digital Empowerment training, we, all fellows, were asked to make a final project on any social issues in Nepal. -
- -- Initially I had no idea what to do. Then one day during Digital Empowerment training, Ravi Kumar, the co-founder for Code for Nepal, asked us what bothered us. At that instance, street children came in my mind. Then I thought why not to make a project to teach the street girls computer skills. -
- -- Although I decided to do this project, it was not easy. Oscillating between organizations was exhausting. After nearly two months, I was able to conduct my project with Child Watabaran Center. -
- -- This September I taught 10 girls of Child Watabaran Center basic computer skills. For them, Google and YouTube were completely strange. -
- -- When I went for the first day to teach, I clearly remember, one student came to me and requested me to teach them how to use Google. She had heard about Google and Facebook but she did not know how it appeared in computer screen. I attempted to teach them my best and hope that I could meet their expectations. -
- -- I conducted training for 4 days. During that tenure, they learned basic computer skills like creating new user account, setting password, making new folders and how to turn on and off computer, to use MS Word and PowerPoint . They were able to do research on Google, create new email address. -
- -- During the training, I was impressed by their enthusiasm. They always wanted to learn more and asked me whether I could teach more new things. -
- -- The satisfaction when they said they learned new thing with sweet smile was indescribable. I want to thank Code for Nepal for providing me this opportunity to help others. -

-Nepal provides the cheapest broadband in South Asia, with an average cost of USD 19.16 per month.
-
-Access to the internet is considered a basic necessity in the 21st century. When people have internet they can access information, looks for jobs or access health or financial information to make better decisions about their lives.
-
-[A new study that looked](https://www.cable.co.uk/media-centre/release/new-worldwide-broadband-price-league-unveiled/) at the average cost of broadband in 196 countries found that Iran provides the cheapest broadband.
-
-Based on the same [study](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oH5Ham4Yn8x80ma0j_Z5SnOcQyUIsbPtzmcc0fvUEeI/edit#gid=1296416767), Nepal offers the cheapest broadband in South Asia.

-Do you wonder how your family or other families spend money?
-
-Of course, every family is unique but thanks to the Annual Household Survey published by the Nepal Government, we know how an average Nepali family spends its money.
-
-The average annual household consumption in 2015/16 was Rs, 3,22,730 or approximately USD 3,111.12. (Exchange rate: 1 Nepalese Rupee equals 0.0096 US Dollar)
-
-More than half of household consumption (53.8%) went toward food, while 12.9% was spent on rent, 4% on education, and 3.9% on alcohol and tobacco.
-
-Explore the chart below to see how Nepalis spend their money.
-
-
-
-Compared to 2014/15, the average household’s consumption has increased by Rs 30,418. However, inequality in Nepal is widening: “T_he annual consumption of the richest 20% households is Rs. 6,13,725 which is 4.2 times higher than that of the poorest 20% households.” _

-_Code for Nepal Fellow, 2014_**
-
-This summer I’m fellow of Code For Nepal. It’s working to increase access to practical data and improve digital literacy in Nepal. By the end of this fellowship we were asked to address one problem of our society and come up with its solution.
-
-For my project, I did research and found that most of the government school students have least access to Computers. Based on the research, I initiated Computer Learning Project in a government school. To be part of this learning project, I nominated 6 government schools of Lalitpur district. I shared the idea with fellows of Teach For Nepal (a movement to end education inequity in Nepal) who are working on the shame school. They applied for the project online on behalf of their schools. Based on the application submitted Shree Buddha Secondary School located on Tikabhairab got selected to partner with my project.
-
-After the school selection, I distributed 80 applications among the students of class 8, 9. The students were selected on the basis of eagerness to learn Computer and their thoughts on why Computer education is important for them. Among 80 applicants only 12 students were selected, for the 2 week long training. The training was from 14th September to 25th September 2014.
-
-
-
-The main goal of the training was to make participants realize the importance of computer education.
-
-The training mostly covered questions such as: Why computer education is important in their life? How to turn on and off computer, software and hardware, MS. Word, Ms. Excel, uses of Internet for academics, writing and sending emails.
-
-Everyday before the class ended the students were asked question related to computer, which I named as “Question of the day”. This helped them increase their general knowledge on computer; the winner received a gift. By the end of the training all of the 12 students had gifts and had answered at least one question. These students were divided into 2 groups, one group was named as “Speaker” who usually speak up and other team was named as”Headset” who used to hardly speak. Both the team were given task such as writing an essay on what they have learned so far from the training, getting more answers by sharing more answers.
-
-There was no hidden challenges beside my fear on students might not able to understand English well, as most the training was conducted in English language. We also used Nepali language at times.
-
-
-
-To run the project Code for Nepal provided me with a grant. They also helped me by sharing my blog and updates on Social Media; as a result I received positive feedback and was highly encouraged to put best efforts on the project. Reflecting back on what I learned from the Code for Nepal training, blogging, looking for data, and sharing on Twitter and Facebook really helped me.
-
-The training successfully wrapped up on 25th September, the students are now off for festival vacation. After their school resumes on late November they will make a group and share the training skills with their classmates.
-
-I’m looking forward to run such trainings on near future, To see more updates on my future steps you can check out at writeupalina.wordpress.com, follow me on Twitter at @KarkiAlina

-In the last 8 years, the number of women prisoners increased by more than 230%. That’s shockingly a lot. We are not sure why that’s happening. We do know that recently prison inmates were forced to sleep in plastic sheds and that inmates are forced to live under open sky at the Dadeldhura prison in Nepal.

-
-Do you have any idea why this is happening? Tell us in the comments or tweet at us @codefornepal
-
-To give you more context, number of prisoners is increasing overall as well. Between 2001 and 2010, number of total prisoners almost doubled. See below.

-In the last 8 years, the number of women prisoners increased by more than 230%. That’s shockingly a lot. We are not sure why that’s happening. We do know that recently prison inmates were forced to sleep in plastic sheds and that inmates are forced to live under open sky at the Dadeldhura prison in Nepal.

- In December 2017, [Amita Sharma](https://medium.com/@amitasharma_89213), a Teach for Nepal fellow based in Janakpur, posted an [appeal](https://www.facebook.com/amita.sharma.184/posts/2219951188021679) on Facebook asking to raise funds to buy a projector to enable digital learning for her students. She wrote, “While computers and laptops for all is a far-fetched dream because of space constraints, we are aiming at being able to use projectors as a medium through which learning in the class is not restricted to just whiteboards and markers.”
-
-Amita ’s willingness to bridge digital gap by introducing digital tools in classrooms is commendable. Also, her interest in digital education aligned with Code for Nepal’s mission to promote digital literacy in Nepal. We supported her campaign financially.
-
-A few days ago, Amita sent us a note and attached some photos of her happy students. Students are thrilled to have a projector in class. Learning has never been this exciting for them. We are hopeful this small effort to bring digital tools to classroom learning will have a significant impact one day. Today, we are just pleased to share some happy and bright faces with you all.
-
-Also, Amita recently penned an opinion on “Digital Classroom & Education,” and we are sharing her piece here.
-
-
-
-- Digital Classroom & Education -
- -Who would have thought, just ten years ago, that the nurses you see in hospital would log your notes on tablets, or that staff in restaurants would be taking orders on smartphones? The overwhelming majority of workers in this country, if they studied ICT, would have worked on clunky desktop computers at school to develop their skills. - -Technology has the power to transform how people learn – but walk into some classrooms and you could be forgiven for thinking you were entering a time warp. - -There will probably be a whiteboard instead of the traditional blackboard, and the children may be using laptops or tablets, but plenty of textbooks, pens and note copies are still likely. - -And perhaps most strikingly, all desks will face forwards, with the teacher at the front. - -And so it stands to reason that the children we teach will themselves engage with unforeseen technologies in their futures. So is there any point in filling their classrooms with equipment that could belong in antiquity by the time they reach their twenties? - -In short, yes. Quality technological provision is a huge challenge with the funding squeezes upon schools, but evidence from my classroom strongly suggests that it is an investment worth making. - -Digital Classroom Project, a digital initiative undertaken under Teach For Nepal with the vision to provide a technology – enabled classroom for the students of Shree Secondary School, Mithileswar Mauwahi was initiated a couple of months back. Few generous souls helped me to create a class with a laptop, projector and a screen so enormous that it could illuminate the street. I am very grateful to Code for Nepal and Diwaker Jha along with his friends from Finland for the generous contribution to fulfill the need of projector in our classroom. Our brief was to explore how the equipment could impact upon students from an incredibly deprived background. Year 10–12 were targeted children. A great year group for trying a new way of teaching, yes? - -Children from deprived backgrounds are more likely to have communication and language issues from entry into school. Being able to record voice, images and annotations on apps, and review them, often provides my students with something they’re not proud of at first. But by collaborating with each other, seeking technical language and competing to show what they know, every students in my class is always keen for their work to be shared on the big screen. It gives a new impetus to learn and promotes confidence in the quality of their work through this medium. - -The Digital Classroom also had a disproportionality positive effect on students who needed extra support and motivation. Digital Classroom increased flexibility in me, gave me the capacity to differentiate learning and made lessons far more inclusive. - -Yes, technology is an expensive thing to explain to stakeholders. Yes, it takes a huge investment of time for classroom teachers. And yes, it can be an immense headache when trying to deploy new apps and programmes. But the confidence, ability and growth which I’ve seen in my students over the past couple of months tells me that every penny and minute would have been wisely invested. - - \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/_drafts/pratima-kandel-code-for-nepal2208-autosave-v1-Pratima-Kandel-on-why-she-is-a-member-of-Code-for-Nepal.md b/_drafts/pratima-kandel-code-for-nepal2208-autosave-v1-Pratima-Kandel-on-why-she-is-a-member-of-Code-for-Nepal.md deleted file mode 100644 index ff6dec73..00000000 --- a/_drafts/pratima-kandel-code-for-nepal2208-autosave-v1-Pratima-Kandel-on-why-she-is-a-member-of-Code-for-Nepal.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,46 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: 2212 -title: Pratima Kandel on why she is a member of Code for Nepal -date: 2018-10-02T20:35:43-04:00 -author: codefornepal -layout: revision -guid: https://codefornepal.org/2018/10/2208-autosave-v1/ -permalink: /2018/10/2208-autosave-v1/ ---- -

-There are seven newly formed provinces in Nepal.
-
-Among them, Province 2 has the highest number of multidimensionally poor Nepalis. More than 2.5 million people are multidimensionally poor in Province 2, representing 35% of all poor Nepalis according to the [Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)](http://npc.gov.np/images/category/Nepal_MPI.pdf) released by the Nepali Government.
-
-
-
-Unlike traditional poverty rates which look at monetary indicators, the [Multidimensional Poverty Index](http://npc.gov.np/images/category/Nepal_MPI.pdf) looks at ten indicators, including child mortality, years of schooling, school attendance, nutrition, cooking fuel, improved sanitation, improved drinking water, electricity, asset ownership and flooring and roofing. If a Nepali is deprived in at least three of these areas, then she/he is considered poor.
-
-Nepal’s Multidimensional Poverty Index is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Overall, 28.6% of Nepal’s population is multidimensionally poor.
-
-According to the report: “Provinces 6 and 2 have the highest rate of multidimensional poverty – with every second person being multidimensionally poor (50%) – followed by Provinces 5 and 7 (approximately 30%).”
-
-Look at this chart to see each province’s incidence of multidimensional poverty.
-
-
-
-Province 2 is the second largest province in the country. Located in southeastern Nepal, this province includes Bara, Dhanusha, Mahottari, Parsa, Rauthat, Saptari, Sarlahi and Siraha.
-
-Province 6 is the smallest province in Nepal and includes the districts of Dailekh, Dolpa, Humla, Jajarkot, Jumla, Kalikot Mugu, Rukum (western part) Salyan, Surkhet.

-The pilot survey took place in Sindhupalchowk, Gorkha, Rasuwa, Bhaktapur and Kathmandu. There are 767 total respondents, out of which 467 were males and 300 were females. The average age of respondents was 44 years old. Of the 767 total respondents, 642 (84%) said they received some form of relief. Most respondents who received relief (573 out of 642, or 89%) had to wait more than 8 days to get any form of help, according to the survey. [See full report on Initial Findings HERE.]

-It was 2:00am in Washington, DC, where I currently live, and a BBC alert on Nepal had just pinged and flashed across my iPhone screen. It read, “BREAKING NEWS: A powerful 7.8 earthquake has rocked central Nepal.”
-
-On April 25, 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake shook Nepal. Soon after, on May 12, 2015, Nepal was hit with another one, this time measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale. The death toll was 8,500+, more than 600,000 homes were completely or partially destroyed, and almost eight million people were affected in Nepal. The country and its people were/are devastated.
-
-Fast-forward to August 6, 2015, I was on a plane to Kathmandu, bitter-sweet about my trip ahead. I couldn’t wait to finally see my parents, friends, and extended family (after two-and-a-half years) to actually see them again, of course, but also to see for myself that they were truly okay, that my house, and my city was okay. No amount of assurances over the phone is enough when you live so far away.

-Perhaps we want to investigate whether there is a link between high population density and exposure to high levels of PM 2.5. Figure 1 provides two datasets. The first layer shows 2015 population exposed to unhealthy levels of PM 2.5, expressed in percentages. In the case of Nepal, about 100% of the population is exposed to unhealthy levels of PM 2.5. The second layer shows 2015 population density (people/km2). Since the entire population is essentially exposed to high levels of PM 2.5, this map does not show a correlation between population density and population exposed to unhealthy levels of PM 2.5.

-The [sectoral breakdown](http://www.worldbank.org/content/dam/Worldbank/document/SAR/nepal/Nepal-PDNA-Damage-by-sector-June-2015.pdf) of the needs assessment data provided by the Nepal government shows that housing and reconstruction will need the biggest support. It is crucial that these needs are met fairly among those affected.
-
-Since this sector will take the biggest chunk of recovery budget, the recovery process should look at the most cost-effective, earthquake resistant and income generating solutions.
-
-Strategies such as assessing the pre-disaster level of income of those affected and divvying up the reconstruction support are important in order to tackle disaster-induced poverty.
-
-Education, tourism, finance and commerce and industry are the other sectors with highest needs after housing and human settlements. Governance needs are at 16,664 million NPR.
-
-Since the rebuilding will need a bigger involvement of the government in allocating and monitoring the process, a detailed breakdown of this amount will help understand how the governance sector needs have been assessed and whether they are justified.

-**Code Pattern – 1:** Analyze an image and send status alert
-
-**Brief about pattern | How this will impact the society**
-
-Industrial and high-tech maintenance companies often photograph their sites for potential hazards or emergencies and then inform the appropriate person who can take action to resolve the issue. A leak, fire, or malfunction can spell disaster for a company, resulting in dangerous situations for employees, downtime, public relation setbacks, and financial losses.
-
-These companies have been leaders in using remote devices–phones, mounted cams, drones–to send images of various sites and equipment to be monitored for any malfunctions. But what if you could automatically analyze those images and send an alert about the location or potential emergency situation?
-
-If you’re a developer working for a company that relies on-site images, you can now build an application that analyzes an image and sends an alert automatically. In this code pattern, you’ll use IBM Cloud Functions to analyze an image and send it to the Watson IoT Platform. The image will be assigned a score, and that score will be evaluated to trigger any necessary alerts to reach authorities through the best available communication channel (for example, email, text, or push notifications).
-
-You have the option to develop a standalone application that can be easily updated or modified to work from within a smart device, or run it on a browser on your laptop or phone.In the pattern use case, you’ll learn how to send an image for processing that detects a fire. (You can also use this same app for maintenance alerts or other emergency alert detections.) The fire is identified by the Watson Visual Recognition service, and the Node-RED app will subsequently notify the appropriate resources.
-
-There are multiple ways to design this process, and you can modify the pattern to extend it to other real-world use cases, sending alerts to other designated recipients and creating additional designated channels for alert notifications.

-As the use and impact of NepalMap increases day by day, we at Code for Nepal are working hard to make sure the users are getting direct benefits by publishing new stories with facts, adding new datasets and teaching people how to use it through events. [NepalMap](https://nepalmap.org) aims to make data on Nepal more accessible and understandable by creating user-friendly data visualizations on key demographic issues.
-
-After adding Local Election Data at NepalMap, We recently added the business data so that users can get the whole overview and growth rate of business in Nepal. A year ago, Office of Company Registrar Nepal embarked the OCR Open Government Data (OGD) initiative to increase access to company data and wants to create an ecosystem of OGD to increase the usability of data and realize the benefits. They opened the data regarding company registration from 2002 till 2072 BS for download and reuse in CSV and XML format.
-
-Despite huge possibilities of data-based storytelling, only a few had used those sources of data. So, we decided to feature the data in NepalMap.
-
-To find the right pattern to present business data at NepalMap, We go through different phases just to make sure the data visualization we create can be easily understandable and meaningful.
-
-First Phase: Sorting the whole dataset
-
-In the first phase we analysis the whole available datasets and sorted it according to the year wise and districts wise. For this we replace the district code with district name and removed the other unwanted parts, this gave us an opportunity to understand the company data better. All the filtered and sorted datasets are in available openly at [GitHub for reuse.](https://github.com/nikeshbalami/company-data)
-
-Second Phase: Finding the patterns to present the data
-
-For this we used 10 years long civil war as our key point, Keeping the date of civil war as a break point, we divided the whole datasets into three parts: before the civil war, during the civil war, and after civil war.

-We also present data according to a decade and its business types: Private, Public, Foreign and Non-profit.

-
-We used Bar Charts to present both Era and Decade data, although we had some discussion of using Histogram for presentation. Let us know if you think presenting this data in different visualization would be better.

-On March 30-31, I attended my very first UN-hosted roundtable conference. The roundtable was a platform to generate new ideas drawing from our experiences in the process of creating tools that would help prevent conflict through the use of data.
-
-As I was riding to the event location, I did not know what to expect. After the two days’ roundtable, I now know so many amazing people working in the data and development fields. I am also aware of various challenges and opportunities around the usage of data.
-
-There were about twenty-five attendees from various sectors. As most of Code for Nepal staff (volunteers) is based outside Nepal, it was a good way to meet professionals who have been doing similar work in Nepal.
-
-On day one, Mr. Allen Tuladhar from Microsoft Innovation Center Nepal (MIC) presented about MIC’s experiences and data and digital literacy in the Nepali context. We also learned about their efforts in partnership with UNDP and UNV through their Debris Management Program. Dr. Anders Engvall and Mr Rudi Sukandar shared about their many years of data collection and analysis work to tackle conflict in Thailand and Indonesia respectively. We also heard from Mr. Thomas Barr from Peace Informatics Lab and Mr. René Clausen Nielsen from the Global Pulse Lab about various case studies on the use of big data for conflict prevention and development.
-
-In between these presentations we had group discussions and Q/A to put the learnings into Nepali context. All of the participants had some role in the use of data especially for the humanitarian response during the earthquake.
-
-I shared about how Code for Nepal used low-tech high-impact approach through Google document, screenshots, and Facebook ads to circulate information about resources, volunteers, and people that needed help during the earthquake. All the knowledge we got on day one would be used as a precursor to meet our objectives for the next day.
-
-On day two, we were divided into two groups. We brainstormed ideas while David Roth and Ruici Tio from LoveFrankie facilitated the group work. Participants observed that the process was similar to design thinking. We were exploring concepts that would answer the question ‘How might data prevent conflict, violent extremism and build peace?’. My group came up with the idea of a youth led initiative that would involve a crowdsourcing platform.
-
-We tested our main concepts using the POWER tool. The group involved professionals with different backgrounds and perspectives. We pitched our idea and got feedback. All this was done within fours hours. Even though our group had a lot of debates and differences, we were able to come up with a final pitch. It was a wonderful learning experience hearing from such diverse group of professionals.
-
-I would like to sincerely thank UNDP, UNV and UNRCO for the opportunity to be a part of this roundtable and all the attendees for kindly sharing their experiences, ideas, and great intent to work with each other.

For the summer, I worked as a Program Analyst for Code for Nepal. Code for Nepal is a U.S.-based organization that works for digital empowerment in Nepal. Digital empowerment means raising awareness about how to use social media and technology to make your life better and to have more access to information online. - -My main job as a Program Analyst was to conduct a survey in Nepal to determine what women wanted to learn about computers and the Internet. The survey was done online and offline via paper. In Nepal, only a few cities have good Internet service. I went to several schools such as Sathya Sai School in Kathmandu, and Siddharth Shishu Sadan School and Model Campus in Janakpur. - -I also asked my friends from high school who are pursuing their undergraduate degrees in Kathmandu to ask their female classmates to take the survey. My friends are from different colleges like V.S Niketan College, Global College of Management, and Apex College. I distributed the form to them and gave a speech about Code For Nepal and they returned it back after students finished them. I gave the survey to high school, undergraduate, and graduate-level students. - -It was a good experience conducting the survey in Kathmandu and Janakpur over six weeks. More than 200 women completed the survey, sharing their goals and interests for digital training. - -While completing the survey, many students asked me questions, such as: what is a “hackathon”? What is “code” or “programming languages”? Students were curious to learn about HTML/CSS and Java. For students who had never heard of code, the concept was difficult to understand. - -To explain, I told them that the next time when they played a game on their phone, they would see the Java logo as the game loaded – that was an example of code being used to build a product that students used in their everyday lives. - -Overall, I found that it was very hard in rural area for girls to use the Internet and to know about social media. Girls in the Janakpur region also explained that they used the Internet infrequently because it is too slow. The power is often out there due to “load shedding.” Nonetheless, they were interested in Code for Nepal, and hope to participate in a training program in the future. - -We are still conducting survey online. If you are a woman in Nepal interested in digital training, take the survey, or if you know someone who is interested then share this blog post with them! - -And I welcome your thoughts about our project. Looking forward for your comments below! - -**** - -**Shashi Adhikari, @AdhikariShashi** -_Program Analyst_ - -Shashi is a social media and technology enthusiast. He is pursuing bachelors in computer science at KIIT in India.

-For the purpose of understanding this map, student–teacher ratio is the number of students who attend schools in a district divided by the number of teachers in that district.
-
-For example, If student-teacher ratio is 100, that means there are 100 students per teacher. Now think about it: You are a 5th grade student in a village in Nepal. There are 100 students in your class and just one teacher. Wouldn’t it be hard for you to learn anything?
-
-The higher the student-teacher ratio, the harder it is for students to learn and get attention of teachers.
-
-Rautahat has the highest student teacher ratio in Nepal followed by Sarlahi and Mahottari.

While some support a blind trust in the government, many believe that seeking government data and encouraging transparency is one of the many ways to keep their powers in check. However, at one point or another, one might ask themselves “why does this matter to me? Why should I care?!” - -Here are five reasons why you, personally, should care! - - 1. ****It enables YOU to hold YOUR authorities accountable!**** - -Ever wondered where every rupee paid for taxes was going? If it was going to something productive for the country at all? Well, through open data and government transparency, you wouldn’t have to wonder because you would know! This would be a convenient way to not only know how your, and all other taxpayers’, contributions have helped the country but also to hold the ministries accountable to the budget they have received and the outcomes achieved through them. - -

-Code for Nepal conducted a pilot research and data collection project in the first half of 2015 to assess the presence of women in Nepal’s online media.
-
-Based on the data we gathered and reviewed, we found women are underrepresented in Nepali online media.
-
-The data was collected from two major media publishing houses in Nepal: [Nepali Times](http://nepalitimes.com/) and Setopati.
-
-The main purpose of collecting this data was to look at the representation of female authors in the media and shed light on the existing gender divide in Nepali media. We also started to collect data because we could not find other related data.
-
-The charts illustrate articles published in Nepali Times under the ‘Nation’ section in both 2004 and 2014, in order to see what differences surfaced after a decade. In the year 2004, male authors comprised 80.2% of the ‘Nation’ section, while women wrote only 19.8% of the published articles. Based on the articles reviewed, there was a huge gender divide in 2004.
-
-
-
-However, the gap narrowed 10 years later. Based on the articles published in the year 2014, 46.2% of the articles published in ‘Nation’ section were written by female authors, while 53.8% were written by male authors.
-
-
-
-And when we analyzed the Setopati opinion section in 2015, considering 101 pieces, only 18 of them were authored by women. That means only 17.8% of opinion pieces out of 101 pieces were published by female authors.
-
-
-
-While the data is not extensive, this two publications show significant gender divides in the Nepali media industry.
-
-There’s no excuse for Nepali media not to recruit more women journalists and publish articles from women authors.
-
-A 2010 article by Yadav Baskota gives an overview of the underrepresentation of women in media in Nepal. According to his report, patriarchal culture is a major barrier.
-
-Nepali society views women’s role as doing household work only. On top of that, women journalists get threats for publishing certain stories. And there is less support for women because of the lack of women in decision-making roles in the media field.
-
-More needs to be done to bridge the gender divide in media and reporting, in order to produce more gender-related data that would help advocate for a bigger presence of women in the field.
-
-We bring this data at a time when the role and status of women is being ignored in the final stages of the new constitution-making process. There is increasing dissatisfaction among women’s rights activists and many important members of the civil society in Nepal and the diaspora that the current reforms in the constitution have not signalled significant changes in the status quo of a highly male dominant Nepalese society.
-
-Women in media can have a huge influence at a turning point like this.

-
-
-
-## To mark the 2018 International Women’s Day, here are six data visualizations to show the status of women in Nepal.
-
-
-
-###
-
-### The proportion of employed women has decreased
-
-The proportion of women who were employed was only 68% in 2016 compared to 83% in 2006.
-
-“Among employed respondents, women are almost three times more likely than men not to be paid (52% versus 16%),” according to the demographic and health survey (PDF) by the Government of Nepal.
-
-
-
-### _Spousal violence has decreased _
-
-One in four women in Nepal experienced spousal violence in 2016. While that number is very high, it has declined since 2011 when 32% of women or one in three experienced spousal violence.
-
-Spousal violence in the Terai region is high compared to other regions. One in three women in the Terai reported spousal violence. Women in Province 2 (37%) are most likely to experience spousal physical, sexual, or emotional violence, and those in Province 4 (16%) least likely to do so.
-
-Explore the map to see the level of spousal violence by Provinces in Nepal.
-
-
-
-### More women agree that wife beating is justified
-
-More than one in four women agree that wife beating is justified under a specific circumstance.
-
-“The proportion of women who consider wife beating justifiable under specific circumstances increased from 23% in 2006 to 29% in 2016. The proportion among men increased marginally, from 21% to 23%.
-
-Women living in “Province 2 (33%) and Province 7 (34%) are most likely to have attitudes justifying wife beating under any one specific circumstance.”
-
-Explore the map below to see the attitude of women towards wife beating in Provinces of Nepal
-
-
-
-### _Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament of Nepal remains unchanged_
-
-In 2017, proportion of seats held by women in national parliament of Nepal was about 30% like that of in 2016, 2015 and 2014. In 2013, proportion of seats held by women in Nepal’s national parliament was 33.2%.
-
-
-
-### **More women are head of households**
-
-Almost one out of every three households in Nepal is headed by a female. Evidence strongly suggests that this trend is a result of migration as most migrants are male and family heads.
-
-
-
-### Women’s literacy rate has increased
-
-In 1991, only 17% of Nepali women (15 years or older) were literate. In 2015, almost 57% of women were literate.
-
-Education is the most important way to empower women. In last quarter century, women literacy rate has increased almost three times. There is still a long way to go when all women of Nepal will be literate.
