ICIMOD invites proposals from experts and organisations to conduct a comprehensive training workshop on air quality data analysis in Nepal. This workshop is designed for participants working on air quality across selected countries in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, India, and Pakistan.

ICIMOD’s Strategic Group 1, focused on reducing environmental and climate risks, and its Action Area B (AAB), Stimulating Action for Clean Air, are dedicated to tackling air pollution issues in the HKH region, which includes some of the most polluted cities globally. ICIMOD prioritises capacity building among its partners to enhance their knowledge and skills in air pollution data analysis, which is crucial for mitigating air pollution and improving public health outcomes.

The training will focus on the analysis of air quality data collected from various government monitoring sources or other open sources, such as satellite data, within the region. The consultant will be responsible for developing and delivering the workshop content. This content should include data analysis formats compatible with those used by government entities in the HKH region.

The training should cover the use of tools and scripting languages such as Excel, R/RStudio, Python, or (geo)spatial visualisation for converting data into meaningful information. Priority must be given to open-source tools or widely accessible software (such as Excel) to ensure usability after the training. All training materials, including presentations, customised formulas, and written software codes, will remain the property of ICIMOD and may be reused or distributed freely in the future without additional approval or consent from the consultant.

For more details on the assignment, please refer to the Terms of Reference (ToR), which can be downloaded from the link provided below.
