EPIC Air Quality Fund Led by CEN

The award will facilitate the deployment of 21 low-cost air quality monitors in major cities across Nepal. The deployment, which will be done in collaboration with the government and other partners, will complement the existing network. With the aim of improving air quality data access, the generated data will be made publicly available. Additionally, youth will be trained and mobilized to amplify the reach of the data generated. The plan is to leverage the generated data to raise awareness and advocacy to shape policies by generating continuous air quality data and collaborating with governments on management plans.

“This initiative, by providing accessible and real-time air quality data, fostering strong partnerships with the government, and empowering youth, will create an environment that drives effective actions to combat air pollution.”
