promote the rights of women to exercise choice when selecting a contraceptive method.
Unmet need for contraceptives is very high in Nepal, estimated at 27% in 2011, which
increased from 25% in 2006 according to the Nepal Demographic and Health Surveys
(NDHS). The overall contraceptive prevalence rate is also low, estimated at 43% in 2011 for
modern methods, reduced from 44% in 2006 (NDHS). The Health Communication Capacity
Collaborative (HC3) team in collaboration with the District Health Office, Myagdi,
implemented a pilot to work with FCHVs, with monitoring and evaluation from Mott
