Nepal Insights Lab

Nepal Insights Lab is an independent research initiative that turns census tables, budgets and market prices into comparable evidence about Nepal's places, down to the province, district and palika level. It focuses on four areas: local government performance, migration, agriculture, and climate risk, with agriculture and climate risk work starting November 2026. The Lab publishes its methods before its results and names its funders, aiming to serve local and provincial governments, development partners, banks and investors, journalists and researchers who need trustworthy numbers about Nepal. Founded in 2026 by data and policy analyst Aditya Joshi, who works between Nepal and Australia, the Lab publishes a new data story every two weeks.
