Nepal Road Risk Observatory
A public-interest data concept for documenting risky road environments and usable evidence for local action.
The problem
Everyday hazards and near-miss conditions can remain invisible when available data captures only part of the risk.
Why it matters
Better local evidence could help prioritize interventions before more serious harm occurs.
What we know
- Community knowledge can reveal recurring hazards.
- Evidence must be collected consistently to support decisions.
What we don’t know yet
- Which observations can be collected safely?
- How should reports be verified?
- Which decision-makers can act on the resulting evidence?
Our approach
- 01
Develop an ethical observation protocol.
- 02
Test a small geographic sample.
- 03
Co-design useful outputs with local decision-makers.
Project timeline

Expected outputs
- Ethical observation protocol
- Small-sample test design
Risks under consideration
- Unsafe field observation
- Evidence that cannot be verified or acted upon
Assumptions to test
- Local decision-makers can use appropriately structured evidence
Financial transparency
Budget under development.
Funding not yet opened.
What support could enable
- Road-safety researchers
- Municipal insight
- Mapping expertise
How we will measure
No results are claimed yet. Measures will be defined before implementation and published when verified.
Evidence
Evidence and supporting documents will be linked here when they exist.
What we will report
For every funded project, SEED SURE aims to report what was promised, funded, done, changed and spent; what did not work; what was learned; and what happens next.
Reporting remains subject to privacy, safeguarding, contractual and legal requirements.
