PSI\/Nepal Ranks among Top Ten Global Fund Grant Performers<\/strong> <\/p>\n

KATHMANDU, Nepal, December 2008 \u2013 In an analysis of Global Fund grant ratings published in November by Aidspan, an independent observer of the Global Fund, PSI\/Nepal ranked the seventh best performing principal recipient (PR) grant out of a total of 164 PRs across 114 countries globally.<\/p>\n

In December 2005, PSI\/Nepal became a PR for the Global Fund, joining the Government of Nepal in implementing the Global Fund Round 2 project, titled \u201cMalaria Control in Nepal through Primary Health Care System Strengthening and Partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the project\u2019s inception, PSI\/Nepal has been consistently delivering impressive programmatic results. Through strong collaboration with its local partner, the National Human Welfare Council (NHWC), and despite difficult terrain, monsoons and periodic roadblocks, PSI has delivered over 500,000 long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) through free distribution and social marketing strategies to some of the hardest to reach populations in 13 high-risk malaria districts in Nepal.<\/p>\n

It has also reached more than 280,000 people through interpersonal communication activities. According to Nepal\u2019s Malaria Social Marketing TRaC and Net Coverage Survey conducted in 2008, 95.2% of households in program areas are using at least one LLIN.<\/p>\n

Under the Global Fund Round 7, PSI\/Nepal, in partnership with the Government of Nepal, has been awarded more than $7 million as PR to expand the existing malaria program. Over the next two years, PSI plans to distribute more than 700,000 LLINs to 13 high-risk districts to further address the malaria burden in Nepal.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","related_countries":[],"related_projects":[],"news_category":[],"health-area":[],"capabilities-and-cross-cutting":[],"class_list":["post-3712","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
