The joint Health Sector Support Programme (HSSP) aims to improve the access to effective health services, especially for disadvantaged population groups of Nepal. HSSP is executed under the overall coordination of the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) and in joint responsibility with the German Agency for Technical Development. In its present phase (June 2007 — July 2010), HSSP focuses on systemic quality improvement and decentralisation, improving access to health services and fair financing, and sexual and reproductive health and rights with a focus on young people.
The following report gives a brief analysis of the legal and policy framework, summarizes the discussions held during the consultancy and presents options to consider in the ongoing and forthcoming programme phase of HSSP.
