CAP-2030 Nepal: Open Street Map tracker mapping dataset

The Stata data file "jumla_kavre_osmtracker_merged.dta” and equivalent excel file of the same name comprises data on water, waste management and landmarks collected by adolescent secondary school students during a "Citizen Science" project in the district of Kavre in the central hills of Nepal during April 2022 and in the district of Jumla in the remote mountains of West Nepal during June 2022. The project was part of a CIFF-funded Children in All Policies 2030 (CAP2030) project. <br> The data were generated by the students using an open access data collection and mapping application called Open Street Map (OSM) tracker, which had been adapted with Nepali language prompts by Researchers from Kathmandu Living Labs (KLL). Researchers from KLL and University College London (UCL) trained the adolescents to record tracks and way points of certain types of information including categories of waste management (rubbish dumps/bins), water sources and public amenities. The resulting datafile is a summary of the data collected showing the latitude/longitude, name, and category of the type of location and the district. The app and the process of gathering the data are described in a paper entitled "Citizen science for climate change resilience: engaging adolescents to study climate hazards, biodiversity and nutrition in rural Nepal" submitted to Wellcome Open Research in Feb 2023. The data contributed to Table 5, and Figure 4 of this paper.
