Your project
This is an opportunity for you to tell us about your project. In this section we'd like to hear about your community, which local challenge your project addresses, what you plan to do and how, your sustainability plan, and how you plan to share your stories.
Describe the local challenge your project is addressing
In this section please describe in detail the challenge that your project addresses. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
The Chepang community, also known as “Praja, is one of the highly marginalized indigenous nationalities and resource-poor tribes of Nepal [NCA, 2013]. According to the Census of 2011 A.D, Chepangs hold a population of 52,237 constituting 0.23% of the total population of Nepal. According to the recent Nepal Living Standard Survey, almost 90% of Chepangs live below the poverty line, earning around 6,000 Nepali rupees per capita annually. More than 95% of the Chepangs live in the hilly villages of Chitwan, Makwanpur, Dhading and Gorkha districts where the majority live in sheds made of tree branches [CBS, 2008]. Chepangs are classified under the ‘highly marginalized’ category with no representation or access to representation in any social or political spheres on the basis of a set of socio-economic indicators, such as population size, language literacy rate, house type, land ownership, citizenship, occupation and access to higher education [NEFIN,2004]. The Nepal Chepang Association (NCA) reported that more than three quarters of all Chepangs are illiterate and that only one percent of Chepang women know how to read and write. Until 2009, only two Chepangs had completed a Master’s degree, (four females) a higher secondary education and 127 (27 female) a School Leaving Certificate (grade ten). The remoteness of Chepang settlements is regarded as one of the main reasons behind these low literacy rates. “We do not own land because we lack citizenship certificates required for land ownership”, said local Chepangs in Makwanpur. They depend on forests and shifting cultivation for livelihood. However, introduction of new government policies put restrictions on hunting, gathering, and clearing of forest patches (Upreti & Adhikari, 2006), leading to the transition of their livelihood to sedentary rain-fed agriculture (FORWARD, 2001). Due to extreme poverty and lack of citizenship, Chepangs usually cannot afford to travel overseas in search of jobs. The problem of malnutrition and forced teenage pregnancies are common. Due to small parcels, the rugged topography and stony nature of the land, only a small percentage of Chepang households are fully food self-sufficient (Piya, Maharjan, & Joshi, 2011a) Chepang Autonomous Region was also Proposed for Federal Nepal and The GoN has taken some positive steps towards a greater inclusion and participation of marginalized groups in decision making processes. Weak implementation of related 1 legislation has contributed to the vulnerability of the Chepang community, as well as many other marginalized communities in Nepal. Even when the Nepal Government distributes food to needy communities from time to time, they are still deprived of essential food provided by the Government due to historical discrimination and negligence by the stakeholders. Life must be callous while standing on the feet of each individual Chepangs. Thus, there is a need to bring the Chepangs forward and solve their existing problems for which our project of Mapping Chepang Community can be a bridge between the Chepangs and stakeholders/government for uplifting the status of their community.
Describe your project
In this section, please provide specific details about your mapping objectives. This should include: how you will contribute to help solve the local challenge you are addressing, what you aim to achieve with funding, what volume of mapping you plan to complete and how, and the number individuals are you aiming to include in mapping activities. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
New roads bring opportunity. Creating a building tile makes the remote building visualizable to the world. Creating and classifying the land use makes the community land distinguishable from various aspects. And the ambient factor “MAPPING” comprises all these aspects and supports the Chepangs to uplift their economic status. Our project will mainly focus on mapping the Chepang communities specially the community of Makwanpur & Dhading. The output will be a digital map of the community. We will include the buildings, roads, land use and available facilities like hospitals, health posts, schools etc on our maps. Besides, we’ll also perform an analysis to detect the disaster vulnerable areas, agricultural areas and determine the necessity of various services like schools, health posts etc in their community. Considering all the problems of the community like scarcity of food, extreme poverty, dependency on sterile land for livelihood, early marriage, early pregnancy, and many more, we’ll try to subject the mapped documents and database to the local authorities, NGO like Shanti Griha Nepal & INGO’S like Planete Enfants & Developpement and various National & International Organizations like Save the Children, Save Our Soul, Child Workers in Nepal(CWIN), USAID, Leo Club, Rotaract Club, etc for reaching out to their community. And when one reaches those communities then, even the pitiless soul tries to support and give them something. So, it won’t be a wonder when Self-Esteemed and helpful Organizations as mentioned above pour the belongings and basic requirements for the Chepangs. Indeed, besides mapping and preparing various maps we’ll also act as a sublime bridge to connect all the possibilities and opportunities towards Chepangs.
Describe your sustainability plan
In this section please describe how your activities will continue post-funding. If you are applying for funding to purchase equipment, explain who will store/use the equipment you purchase, and if you have long term sustainability plans for your community's development. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Our Sustainability plan is based on the principle “Development of Human Resource and Upliftment of the Community”. Besides, we have also planned to properly follow and execute the five Project Principles of this grant, viz; Partnership (with the involvement of local authorities and residents of the same locality), Inclusivity (which includes the involvement of Women Resource and manpower, backward communities inclusive of other all curious and interested manpower for learning and mapping), Expansion (Expanding our network and collaborations with local organisations and various other organisations that we are in touch with), Collaboration, and Community Defined Project Goals.
After the post-funding, we will purchase the necessary commodities like Hand GPS, Projector, and Wireless Routers. These devices will be appropriately utilized upon completion of the project; those commodities will be stored by the Geomatics Engineering Society(GES), a departmental club under the Department of Geomatics Engineering, Kathmandu University. This Club is also the chapter of YouthMappers and on further days all the reusable instruments and devices will be used by this Club for the purpose of community Mapping.
And we have set the vision to train about 40 of the beginners and the local people of the Chepangs as far as possible to grow the OSM community and let the residents know how the OSM works. And this step can certainly help increase the OSM Community with active participants. Similarly, using locally available resources and local empowerment will be our priority to achieve sustainability in our project.
What are your community defined project goals, and how do you define project success?
Please explain you project goals. This can include: setting goals such as "we will train X number of new mappers", "we will register as a legal entity", or "the data will be used by X", and why these goals are important to your community such as "we intent to be legally registered so that we can receive more grant funding in the future", "we intend to engage X number of women in mapping activities so that we can empower local women" or "we want to build a partnership with X so that our data will be used and trusted". We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Undoubtedly, our primary project goal will remain uplifting the status of the Chepang community via mapping. And while pursuing the mapping journey in this community, many people, local authorities, socially backward communities, women, and various other stakeholders will benefit.
We have thought of conducting training for all the interested participants under our plan, which will comprise more than 33% female and even more interested groups of participants, which may be greater than 40 new mappers. We will try to visit the community as well as organizations that are ready to contribute to their growth and upliftment. As GES is a legally registered Club under the Department of Geomatics Engineering, Kathmandu University it will be lot easier to perform various actions and involve the leading university of the country for mapping and growing the community. We’ll set a benchmark in Kathmandu University(KU) if we receive this grant. The OSM community is slowly growing in KU but after the accomplishment of this project, we will be able to set a greater impact to extend the OSM Community in KU to an even greater height than ever.
We can be able to define our first project success when we will be able to map the Chepang Communities. Similarly, involvement and collaboration with various local organizations and local manpower can be our other project success. Besides, we’ll be able to define project success only when we will be able to share the mapped buildings, roads and other amenities with various organizations whose sole vision is to uplift the Chepang Community from their perspective. We’ll feel satisfied and complete our goal when our data, plans and effort can contribute something in their day-to-day life. We wouldn’t assure them that we will make them prosperous soon but we’ll definitely try every angle to let them not be deprived of the basic needs via our efforts. We will define success only when we can involve a maximum of participants to indulge in training, share our output to various NGO, INGOs, and local authorities to put them into action to achieve some commendable results. To make our project goal achievable we’ll engage women, indigenous tribes, socially backward communities, interested people led by us. The results will be shared to trustable stakeholders which will contribute something to the Chepang community which is our ultimate theme.
What are your community's long term goals?
Please give describe your community's vision. This can include: where you see your community in five years time, how you want your data to be used, future partnerships you'd like to establish, or how you would like your community to grow (or not!). We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Geomatics Engineering Society(GES) is an inaugural chapter of YouthMappers. It is also a legally registered club under Kathmandu University. As far we have been contributing to the OSM community for a couple of years. Comparatively it iis difficult to grow the OSM Community in KU due to more students being careless and ignorant regarding multidimensional approaches & uses of OSM. If GES receives grants like these, we can set the best possible example to lead the OSM community to a very new height. In five years, we see GES as a growing and prospering community that performs various national and even international events and OSM programs. We can quickly receive opportunities and use infrastructure upon request to the University. The reach of the University is high in matters like these. Besides, all the members/students of this club are from mapping backgrounds. They have abundant knowledge relating to Cartography, WebGIS, GIS, Remote Sensing, and programming languages like C, C++, Java, and Python. Moreover, the topic and knowledge of project management and obtaining long term goals are taught in the course. As GES is a club that performs various events and training relating to mapping, this year as well we have conducted various national mapathon competitions, OSM training to beginners, forest mapping & mapping various parts of the nation. We have already worked with various OSM communities like Nepal Geomatics Engineering Society(NGES), NAXA (an Geo-ICT Company), Youth Innovation Lab(YIL), Kathmandu Living Labs(KLL), YouthMappers, OSM Nepal & Geomatics Engineering Students' Association of Nepal (GESAN) for building and contributing on Open Street Mapping(OSM). So, upon need we can extend helping hands to these communities to accomplish our project goals. As discussed earlier, the Chepangs are one of the most marginalised communities in Nepal. The map we will produce will be used by various organizations, local authorities and NGO like Shanti Griha Nepal which work for the Chepang community’s betterment, which is just an instance. As we are going to provide them data in digital format they can use the data for the development of the community. To develop a nation, we have to start from the backward communities that’s what our data does in the long term vision.
List the tools you intend to use during your project and why
Please describe which tools you plan to use to collect, update, clean, or store you data and why. For example: "we plan to use HOT's Tasking Manager to coordinate volunteers" or "we will upload our data to X platform because..." We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open source platform where mappers can flexibly map and upload/download the data. OSM being a free and open source, eventually this will not limit the range of mapping rather help people from different backgrounds further to grow their community after the completion of this project For this, we will use Hot Tasking Manager platform for managing the project map such as creating the task for the particular project area (Chepangs), dividing the maps into chunks where mappers can easily operate with the ID-Editor and JOSM Validator tools for uploading and validating the data in OpenStreetMap. On the mark, ID-Editor shall be used at the first phase since mappers from different backgrounds can quickly get familiar with the OSM platform and tools provided at the Editing phase. Adding, ID-Editor needs constant connectivity to the internet which shall always not be possible in remote areas. On the behalf, we will use Java OpenStreetMap editor (JOSM) for mapping and validating purposes in the next phase JOSM being robust and embedded with various plugins. These validation tools, validation tools which shall further help in data quality assurance. Furthermore, we will use Hand GPS for tracking the trails and maintaining the data quality. Similarly, OSM tracker shall be used for tracing points of interest (POI), taking the structures, and recording GPX tracks.
Consequently, Quantum GIS will be used in analyzing the geo-spatial field data and producing the required map. Since, QGIS is a free, open source platform and compatible with OSM, it is preferred to use.
Please give examples of how you will use share your stories with others. This can include: how you will publicise your news, where you will collect media content, how you will use social media channels, and if you will reach out beyond your immediate network to share your stories. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Kathmandu University(KU) which was established with the motto for “Quality Education for Leadership” is a leading and reputed university of the World. Our GES Community is a legally registered club under KU. We guess sharing these stories via University Websites, Facebook pages, Twitter Pages and LinkedIn pages would not be a big deal whose reach will be on maximum volume. Besides this, we’ll reach out to local newspapers and FM/Radio Stations for highlighting the essence and importance of OSM which helped mapping Chepangs to be published and broadcasted. Similarly, our GES Page on social media are also active which are followed by Mapping Enthusiasts and sharing stories on such platforms can be fruitful to the audience with knowledge of OSM and Mapping. Our community members have also conducted different Map literacy programs in different schools from different corners of the country like Mahendranagar, Dhulikhel, Banepa, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Dang and we will also go there to share our stories and tell them how OSM is beneficial for humanitarian aid. Moreover, we’ll also collect photos and videos to share our journey & stories to Map Chepang Community on our annual Magazine GeoSpace. On giving various OSM Trainings as well we’ll share our stories and request them to share our stories in a bigger audience. On the same line, we will most certainly be collaborating with other local governments and organizations, through which we can share our journey.
Partnerships
Successful applications will demonstrate one or more partnerships with a local data user. Priority will be given to applications for which the data has been requested by a partnering organisation, or where the partner organisation has expressed interest in collecting the data for a specific use or intervention. Example partners include local non-government organisations (NGOs), community based organisations (CBOs), local governments, companies, universities, schools, and other academic institutions.
Describe who will use your data
It is important that the data you generate during the project is useful, and that it will be used to advance humanitarian and/or development challenges locally. In this section, please include: if the data you will be collecting has been requested by a partnering organisation, if there is an established formal relationship with the partnering organisation, if there is an existing MoU between you and the partnering organisation, and how long have you been working with the partnering organisation. If your organisation or community is going to be the data user, please describe how you will use the data, and how it ties in with your organisation's work. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
The output data that we produce will mainly be used by the Local Government, Local Youth Clubs, NGOs like Shanti Griha, INGOs like Planete Enfants & Developpement, local authorities, socially active clubs like Leo Club, Lion Club, Rotary Club, and various organisations which works for the Chepang community. Upon communication with Shanti Griha, they said they are happy to use the data produced by young enthusiastic people like us. And we are further planning to talk with the local VDC & Municipality if our micro grant gets accepted. The National Federation of Indigenous Nationalities & National Foundation for the Development of Indigenous Nationalities are in need of these digital maps who can be directly benefited after completion of this project. As University remains excellent spot for research and study, we can share our output to the University Students who may be from various domains like Biotech, Environment Science, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Agriculture, Forestry and other various departments who are conducting research on Climate Change, Disaster Management, Forest Ecosystem, Food Management etc. Our output/data will help them proceed their research and draft their plans and which indeed help Chepangs to prosper and grow.
Describe any other partnerships you plan to mobilise or establish for the purpose of the project
In this section, please describe any additional partners you might be working with. If there are no additional partners (beyond the data user) this must be stated here. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
As GES is a team of Young Mapping Enthusiasts, so we have abundant resources and manpower to work for this project. And our main vision is to provide output data and maps to the local authorities and various NGO/INGO’S. For this we’ll collaborate and work with the local government, local NGO/INGO’S and various government initiatives. Similarly, upon need we’ll reach out to different collaborators with whom we have already worked with.
Inclusivity
Successful applications will include a developed strategy for the inclusion of women, girls, and marginalised groups in mapping activities. This includes the number of women, girls or marginalised groups you plan to engage, and the way in which you plan to interact with them.
How will you ensure that your project activities are inclusive?
Please describe how you will engage women and girls, or other marginalised communities in your mapping activities. Please include the number of women, girls or marginalised groups you plan to work with and how, and at which point in your activities you plan to engage them. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
Inclusivity to every minor, socially backward, local empowerment and women is our ultimate plan. Only 15 percent Chepangs are literate and almost 90 percent of Chepangs are below the poverty line. School enrollment rate is very low and the drop-out rate is very high. So engaging them to uplift their community and OSM community can be a really challenging factor to us but we’ll make them Map Literate and involve in our community whose vision and path will be the same for some good deeds of their own community.
Involvements of about 2 Chepangs people, 4 women and various other socially backward people will be highly prioritized for this project. They’ll be trained for digitization, Mapping and given various training. Similarly, at least one GIS Analyst will be female who will guide other female members on field work and OSM Trainings. The selected 2 Chepangs will be instructed and guided and will be requested to inform major problems of their community. They will be leading and representing their community to work with us for their benefits. And overall, we will monitor and guide the team. Henceforth, we can ensure that the project activities will be inclusive and all members will get equal opportunities to learn and prosper.
Expansion
Successful applications will show how communities intend to grow community engagement. This includes a practical approach on how many new mappers you aim to recruit and how they will be involved in community activities. Priority will be given to communities that also include a plan for ongoing engagement beyond the grant period. If this is not relevant to your project, please explain why.
Explain how you plan to expand your mapping community
In this section, please include: your approach to recruiting new mappers, how will you engage new mappers, how many new members you plan to recruit, and how will you retain community members throughout the duration of project and beyond. We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words.
GES is an inaugural chapter of YouthMappers. Every year GES gives training, webinars and conducts events relating to OSM and Maps. The newly admitted students are taught about OSM in detail and briefly while the existing OSM Contributors are inspired and suggested to run their OSM Streak daily as far as possible. This will help them know the OSM news, OSM Board Meetings and various annual events. These activities are continually run every year by GES. This year as well we were able to perform Forest Mapping in collaboration with GESAN, Mapping Bajhang & Bajura in collaboration with NAXA, USAID, Youthmappers 7 and WFP Nepal. Similarly, few of our members also collaborate with Kathmandu Living Labs to map the buildings footprints of Afghanistan to perform the 1st Census in the history of Afghanistan. Likewise, in collaboration with Youth Innovation Lab, we tried to uplift the girls for mapping purposes and our members mapped Sindupalchowk, Rasuwa, Dolpa, Doti, Kailali, Nuwakot and currently mapping many 14 Municipalities of Nepal. Similarly, on coming days as well, we’ll extend our hands with these as well as other organizations and communities to expand our mapping community as we are from this mapping background.
Collaboration
Priority will be given to applications that collaborate with other OSM communities in the region. This can be country specific or regional and can include collaboration with Youth Mappers Chapters, or members of the HOT community to help with training, validation (as examples). For support in sourcing collaborators, email microgrants@hotosm.org.
Describe other OSM communities you are already working with
This may include Youth Mappers chapters, or members of OSMF (as examples). If you are not already collaborating with an OSM community, please state this and explain how you plan to work with other communities in your project in the following question.
GES is a departmental club established in 2007 A.D. So, we have already established links and relations with various OSM Communities and Organizations for growing and learning OSM as well. GESAN & Agri-Mappers Lamjung Chapter are the OSM community that we have worked together on the occasion of open data day to map the forest of Nepal and to give OSM related training respectively. Rather than communities we had also collaborated with Nepal Geomatics Engineering Society(NGES) to conduct events & webinars relating to Mapping, NAXA(a Geo-ICT Service Provider company) to train Volunteers for mapping Infrastructure & Trails of Bajhang & Bajura, Youth Innovation Lab(YIL) to train and map Sindupalchowk, Rasuwa, Kailali, Dolpa, Kalikot and various other regions, Kathmandu Living Labs(KLL) to broaden the mapping experience and work on mapping Afghanistan and Bhutan. These all mapping are done using HOTOSM Tasking Manager, OSM, ID-Editor & JOSM Validator.
Describe other OSM communities you plan to approach, or establish relationships with, for the purpose of the project
We recommend your response be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 400 words..
As discussed earlier, GES has a team of active OSM Contributors who’ll be working for this project. As we have already worked with NAXA, Kathmandu Living Labs, Youth Innovation Labs, GESAN, YouthMappers and Nepal Geomatics Engineering Society so on coming days if we need any assistance from them, upon need we’ll request these communities and Organizations for completing our Project
Project plan and budget
Priority will be given to applications that collaborate with other OSM communities in the region. This can be country specific or regional and can include collaboration with Youth Mappers Chapters, or members of the HOT community to help with training, validation (as examples). For support in sourcing collaborators, email microgrants@hotosm.org.

Total cost for budget item | Why is it needed? (please give as much detail as possible) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Wifi Router and data package | 1 | $30 USD |
$100(including wifi packages) | This will allow us to run mapathons with up to 40 people at one time.. The unavailability of the internet access in the respective region needs the requirement of the data package. This will help us to grow our community and achieve our goals. |
| 2. | Laptop | 4 | $150 | $600 | This project will be done on the remote area so it is obvious that the place where scarcity of food occurs, laptop reach would be very uncommon. So, this sum will allow us for the rental purpose of the laptop which will help in mapathon events. |
| 3 | Projector (Mini) | 1 | $100 | $100 | OSM needs plenty of explanation regarding slides, HOT, ID-Editor and JOSM presentation. This will ease in the teaching community in an effective way in a short period of time. |
| 4 | Hand GPS device | 4 | $200 | $800 | GPS shall be used for tracing the trails data for the maintaining the accuracy of the project. So, this sum will be used to buy a hand GPS device. |
| 5 | Transportation | 60 | $10 per return journey | $600 | This project requires acquiring field data like trails,, points of interest (POI) in the different parts of the Chepang region so in order to collect these data $10 per person per return journey is allocated where we have planned to make it according to the need. (This may vary according to the situation) |
| 6 | Communication | 7 | $10 per month | $70 | This is allocated for communicating among local authorities, different groups divided for the field data collection and verification. |
