RFP- Baseline Survey of Resilient Health System

RFP- Baseline Survey of Resilient Health System

INTRODUCTION

Ipas works globally with a vision that every woman and girl has the right and ability to determine her own sexuality and reproductive health. Our programs use a multifaceted approach that addresses reproductive health services, access to services, and the fulfillment of reproductive rights.

As part of the broader reproductive justice movement, Ipas is working to ensure that abortion and contraceptive care are recognized as essential health services and that all people can access them. We seek to expand the availability, quality, and sustainability of abortion and related reproductive health services, as well as improve the enabling environment for these services.

Ipas Nepal’s program interventions prioritize intersectional partnerships that integrate broader gender equality and social justice agendas, including gender-based violence prevention and response, and women-led climate justice initiatives.

The Health System Resiliency for Improved SRHR in selected municipalities of Karnali, Nepal project aims to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN) of women, adolescents, and other marginalized groups in the underserved areas of Surkhet, Salyan, Jajarkot, Rukum West, and Dailekh of Karnali Province, Nepal. The project will address poor health outcomes among women, adolescents, and children by strengthening the continuum of SRHR services and improving MCHN. The project also addresses underlying determinants of SRHR, such as gender equality, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), women’s agency, and access to rights-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE). 

The three intermediate outcomes of the project are: 

• Increased availability and use of gender responsive, high-quality, comprehensive, and integrated sexual and reproductive health services that are accessible, acceptable, and sensitive to the needs of adolescents, women, and children.
• Increased adoption among community members of practices that advance gender-equality and the health, rights, and autonomy of women, adolescents, and children.
• Strengthened endorsement, enactment, and implementation of policies and guidelines by decision makers that promote resilient health systems and uphold the health rights of women and adolescents, and children.
