Ending unmet need for family planning services

Nepal commits to ensuring that marginalized groups, in particularly adolescents and youth, are able to exercise their reproductive rights through universal access to quality family planning services including modern contraception, the upscaling of adolescent friendly health services, and the full integration of comprehensive sexuality education, consistent with the evolving capacities and needs of young people, in the formal and non-formal education system, with the goal of reducing the adolescent birth rate to 30 per 1,000 women.

Modes of engagement:

• Budgetary and financial
  Nepal will develop a Costed Family Planning Sustainability Roadmap to meet the unmet need for family planning by 2030.
• Programmatic action
  - Offer up to five modern contraceptive methods in health facilities throughout the country. - Increase access to adolescent friendly health services including availability of sexual and reproductive health information, counselling and services.
