A four-day research workshop was organised in Oslo from 25-28 February 2020 to develop a detailed methodological plan and agree on the research questions for the project. It was an opportunity for researchers from Nepal, Norway and the United Kingdom to collaboratively develop research components, key themes, indicators, and survey questionnaires. Colleagues from Nepal research team presented some of the preliminary findings of pilot work that informed the intensive work on identifying research sub-themes and research participants.
