As a result, the Family Planning Association of Nepal is committed to helping communities meet their own needs and goals.
Villagers meet to prepare for the handover of the clinic to the community.
Soon these villagers will be taking over responsibility for sexual and reproductive health programmes currently delivered by the Family Planning Association of Nepal. Minu Baba Joshi, president of the Rural Area Development Association, who will be responsible for running the programmes, believes the transition to her organization will be a good opportunity. In 1999, we heard that the Family Planning Association of Nepal was going to hand over its clinic in Budhanilkantha. We have been wanting to collaborate with FPAN in the implementation of health related activities for a long time. The Rural Area Development Association has been working in the Kathmandu valley since 1994 and has developed a strong rapport with the community.
