[OKFN-NP] Civicus Research Proposal

Sun Aug 2 15:18:26 UTC 2015

Guys,

Here's the text file with some links about citizen science and efforts in
Nepal.

We have to research the ongoing initiatives, select top 5, and evaluate the
impacts of those initiatives.

Take a look at the links and familiarize yourself with citizen science.

I will update you with the research process soon. Meanwhile, keep thinking
about the creative ways with which we can go forward for this research.
Let's keep the discussion going.

Regards,

Kshitiz Khanal
