It provides a better understanding of the spatial phenomenon that occurs around us. Such phenomenon however is complex in nature and requires a vast collection of interdisciplinary data- the integration of geographic data from different sources therefore is fundamental requirement to analyse and understand the problems that keeps relation with geography in one way or another. This implies that the data that are produced by an agency need to be shared with others, which can be viewed as unlocking of data to its potential users. This paper will present the objective of Nepalese NGII with an overview of the activities currently being undertaken. The NGII architecture proposed by the project (and is currently under discussion) will be presented. Based on the recently conducted study, the strengths and weakness of each of the participating agencies- both as geospatial data provider as well as user- will be assessed. The strategic actions that NGIIP should focus to enable each of the agency to be its meaningful participant will be outlined. Finally, the experience gained so far in building NGII in Nepal will be shared.
