With the establishment of its new Nepal Peace Monitoring Platform in August 2016, COCAP | NepalMonitor.org started to include district-level daily newspapers reporting as source for its reports. Initially limited to review of local newspapers of 10 districts, it expanded the review to local newspapers of 25 districts in January 2017. With the announcement of local elections for May 14, 2017, Nepal Monitor has also adjusted its system to better capture dynamics related to electoral violence and other non-violent contestations in this context.
