Digital governance across six foundational pillars

Responsible AI governance and algorithmic accountability

We examine automated decision-making systems deployed in public infrastructure, establishing accountability frameworks that protect citizens from bias, lack of transparency, and automated exclusion.

Grassroots digital literacy and safety

Bridging structural gaps across diverse demographic groups through community-led workshops, ensuring everyday internet users understand digital mechanics, fraud prevention, and online safety.

Data protection and digital privacy rights

Advocating for robust legislative protections and institutional transparency regarding citizen data collection, storage, and cross-border transfer practices in both public and private sectors.

Policy frameworks matter only when citizens understand how their personal data is protected and how public algorithms affect their daily lives.

Digital Empowerment Nepal Research Mandate
