Description
Sandesh Neupane and co-authors studied how communities helped set health priorities in Nepal in 2026 for programs on HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. After Nepal's move to a federal system and the COVID pandemic, a national body ran an open process to pick priorities.
The study, done with community partners, drew on group talks across all seven provinces and seventy-two municipalities in the first half of 2020. More than 2,000 people joined about 700 sessions, including people at risk or living with these diseases. One hundred officials, experts, and civic leaders were also interviewed. Some community ideas, such as HIV testing points for migrants at borders, entered national strategy papers.
