Sexual and reproductive health services for adolescents are being rolled out in Nepal, but many young people have yet to benefit. Shiva Raj Mishra reports.The National Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Programme aims to serve all adolescents. Although launched in the era of the Millennium Development Goals that ended in 2015, the programme is in the spirit of the sustainable development goals (2015–30) that stress universal access to health care and leaving no one out.
The programme is complemented by sex education. Between 2002 and 2006,with the support of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Nepal introduced what is known as comprehensive sexuality education in schools as part of the national curriculum.
