Policy

Summary

Nepal is a co-signatory to the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in 1994, and
has committed itself to improve the reproductive health status of people throughout the nation. The National
Reproductive Health Strategy of Nepal recognized that RH is a crucial part of overall health and is central to
human development.
Better availability and accessibility to quality RH commodities is critical to meet the ICPD and Sustainable
Development Goals. Secure supply of affordable RH commodities is an essential driver of RH. Hence, the
RHCS aims to ensure a secure supply and choice of quality contraceptives and other RH commodities to meet
every person’s needs at the right time and in the right place.
