About This Initiative

The Digital for Development (D4D) initiative is empowering Nepal's e-Governance Board to advance digital governance. By conducting a nationwide inventory of ICT systems, software, and digital infrastructure, this initiative aims to assess the current state of e-governance, evaluate effectiveness, and shape future strategies.

Scope of Research

Expected Outcomes

The expected outcomes of this initiative include the creation of a comprehensive inventory that provides a detailed catalog of ICT systems and digital infrastructure, systematically classified by service domains. It will deliver a gap analysis accompanied by evidence-based policy recommendations to address deficiencies and optimize resource allocation effectively.

The research aims to explore cross-domain integration through a feasibility study and develop guidelines to enhance data exchange and interoperability among agencies. Furthermore, it will focus on citizen engagement by offering actionable recommendations to increase the adoption of e-governance services and improve the skiis of IT personnel.
