Between 1995 and 2005, internal conflicts in Nepal contributed to more than 13,000 deaths, undermined the provision of basic social services, and hampered the development of infrastructure, especially in rural areas. As the conflict intensified across the country, roads, schools, and health facilities were destroyed leading many to flee the violence, including teachers and healthcare providers. A decade of conflict also exacerbated gender-based violence and gender disparities and contributed to increased health insecurity through the spread of infectious diseases. By the time a peace process was launched in 2006, reproductive health indicators were extremely poor, and maternal morbidity was among the highest in the world. While peacebuilding achieved a level of political and social stability, challenges remained to ensure that the needs of historically marginalized groups, including women and girls, were included in the recovery and reconciliation efforts.?

The main goal of the programme is to provide vulnerable women and girls with the means to improve their well-being and socioeconomic status. To this end, the programme aims to (i) enhance access to quality reproductive health services; (ii) provide comprehensive support to victims of gender-based violence; (iii) raise awareness on health care and prevention of HIV/AIDS; and (iv) strengthen mechanisms to protect the health and reproductive rights of women and girls.
