The Global Programme to Enhance Reproductive Health Commodity Security (GPRHCS) is a unique and effective mechanism to deliver results in key priority countries. This UNFPA programme operates as a thematic pooled fund with a focused mission to ensure a secure, steady and reliable supply of quality reproductive health commodities and improve access and use by strengthening national health systems and services. GPRHCS supports national action to
reach poor and marginalized women and girls in countries with high unmet need for family planning and high rates of maternal death. GPRHCS is the only United Nations programme that specifically addresses reproductive health commodity security (RHCS). Our approach is strategic,catalytic and country-driven and draws on UNFPA’s established expertise, strong partnerships and on-the-ground
presence. GPRHCS procures contraceptives, medicine and equipment for family planning, HIV/STI prevention and maternal health services. Nepal is one of the 46 priority countries that are being supported by the second phase of the programme(2013-2020).The programme uses an enhanced Programme Monitoring Framework that tracks nearly 100 indicators to measure country progress towards RHCS. Data for measuring progress towards goals, outputs and outcomes are
collected through annual country surveys of service delivery points(SDP). In 2013 UNFPA partnered with Nepal Development Research Institute (NDRI) to undertake its first annual country RHCS survey. This survey aimed to assess
the availability and stock out of essential Reproductive Health(RH) commodities as well as provision of quality Family Planning (FP) services. The survey collected data on supply chain system, staff training and supervision,
availability of guidelines and protocols, information communication technology, method of waste disposal and user fee for RH services. The data were collected through observation, interviews with service providers and HF in-charges and through client-exit interviews.
