The OCHA Nepal office was closed in 2015. The datasets under OCHA Nepal are no longer maintained or fall under the OCHA Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (OCHA ROAP).

OCHA is the part of the United Nations Secretariat responsible for bringing together humanitarian actors to ensure a coherent response to emergencies. The OCHA Nepal presence was created in response to the 25 April 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal with the epicenter located 81 km northwest of the capital city of Kathmandu.
