For three decades, FHI 360 has advanced local leadership, knowledge and priorities in Nepal to improve lives in lasting ways. We have used our expertise to meaningfully engage with all levels of government, communities, and civil society and media organizations to improve education, health and nutrition; protect the environment and mitigate the effects of climate change; promote gender equity, safeguarding and social inclusion; provide crisis response and water, sanitation and hygiene services; strengthen democracy and governance; and conduct implementation research.
As a leader in HIV programming, FHI 360 supports the government’s goal of achieving sustainable epidemic control by working to improve the availability of and accessibility to HIV prevention, treatment and care services for people with a high likelihood of exposure to HIV and to improve the health and well-being of people already living with HIV. We do this primarily through the Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) project. FHI 360 is also providing technical, logistic and management support for the Nepal’s COVID-19 emergency response.
As part of the global Research for Scalable Solutions project, we conduct implementation science research to improve the efficiency, cost-effectiveness and accessibility of family planning programs in Nepal. FHI 360 has also supported the global MOMENTUM Private Healthcare Delivery project in Nepal by creating business models to equip the private sector to deliver high-quality, evidence-based products and services in the areas of maternal, newborn and child health; voluntary family planning; and reproductive health care.
With a country grant from the Fleming Fund, we are working to strengthen the government of Nepal’s capacity for addressing antimicrobial resistance and using surveillance in the human and animal health and food and environment sectors through the One Health approach. We have also expanded our environment work through the U.S. Agency for International Development Clean Air program, which works to improve air quality in the Kathmandu Valley for better health and educational outcomes.
