[OKFN-NP] Involvement of Open Knowledge Nepal in national workshop in Nepal on OGD sensitization

Sat Aug 8 05:56:49 UTC 2015

Good point. However I think it would also be important to showcase some examples where open data has been reused and what the actual impact was. The much I think its important to point out "Where Nepal Government are doing mistakes" I think its equal important to showcase how open data can actually be useful in the context of Nepal. Therefor we need case studies with a positive narrative. Otherwise nobody will commit resources to open data. What are the open data reuse examples? Any highlights? Please share.

We can show participant and representative of Nepal Government, how we are declining at Global index and also can show the data gaps "Where Nepal Government are doing mistakes" and so on.
