Heatmap of NGOs in Nepal

I spend this weekend to create heatmap of NGOs affiliated with Social Welfare Council in Nepal between 2034-70 BS. I used the data from Social Welfare Council of Nepal. I wanted to see the concentration of these organizations in the map of Nepal and the result was surprising. Some insights:

  • Largest number of NGOs are registered in Kathmandu District (12,048)
  • Kathmandu Valley (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur) alone account for 39% (14,627) of total NGOs
  • Top 3 districts with NGOs: Kathmandu (12,408), Lalitpur (2123) and Dhanusa (913)
  • Bottom 3 districts: Manang (14), Mustang (32) and Sankhuwasabha (62)

The heatmap looks as below. You can play with the interactive map and download the data by following this link.
