The Open Aid Partnership ('OAP') brings together development

partners to enhance the openness and effectiveness of development

assistance. The OAP’s focus is to help surface and 'open' aid data as

well as geocode these aid activities and visualize them on an Open

Aid Map (available soon at openaidmap.org). To date, the OAP has

been endorsed by Sweden, Spain, Estonia, Canada, the World Bank,

ONE, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, the Czech Republic,

InterAction, and Publish What You Fund. The OAP further aims to

document opportunities and challenges in Nepal for sustaining and

integrating aid mapping into aid planning and management and

disseminate the lessons learned, as well as to build local capacity for

sustainable and effective use of geo-enabled aid data.

Open Nepal Week is a partnership driven series of event spread over

five days which aims to raise awareness about open data in Nepal and

is a collective effort of a coalition of organizations including Freedom

The Open Aid Partnership. You can access further information on
