Support in Strengthening Nepal Family Planning Programme

Family planning services play a crucial role in promoting maternal and child health and reducing poverty. However, access to quality family planning services remains a challenge in Nepal, particularly for certain population groups such as migrant couples, urban poor, young people, and Muslim communities. The UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) partnered with the Ministry of Health and Population in Nepal to increase access to these services for these population groups. HERD International and Mott MacDonald were commissioned by DFID to conduct monitoring and evaluation of these initiatives.
