Birendranagar Municipality, the capital of Karnali Province, has officially launched the Integrated Municipal Information System (IMIS) project. This comprehensive digital platform integrates web, mobile, and GIS technologies using open-source software to streamline citywide data management. The municipality aims to leverage IMIS for a full sanitation value chain and integrated CWIS indicators.

Supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the Global Water & Sanitation Center at AIT (GWSC-AIT), with technical assistance from ISPL, the project was formalized through a tripartite agreement between Birendranagar Municipality, WaSGISP/DWSSM/GoN, and GWSC-AIT/ISPL.

During the launch event, Mayor Ms. Mohanmaya Dhakal emphasized IMIS’s role in improving municipal service efficiency and supporting community-level sanitation planning. Dr. Bhushan Raj Shrestha from ISPL presented the project's objectives, phase-wise activities, and integration with municipal functions.

IMIS team is invited to share their Asian experience of implementing sanitation services in Lagos International Water Conference (LIWAC). Industry leaders from across Africa will take the stage at the (LIWAC) for a panel discussion on public data optimization to enhance sanitation service delivery.
