Description:
USAID /Nepal has provided support to the GON through reimbursable Implementation Letter over last 20 years. USAID/Nepal has had a constant relationship with Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) for the last 11 years an has provided direct budget support each year through IL.
In FY 2009, USAID/Nepal established a direct funding relationship with the Ministry of Education (MoE) through pre negotiated Fixed Amount Reimbursable IL. Under the directions and vision of the USAID Administrator there are opportunities to be more involved ad expand
USAID/Nepal’s direct support to the GON in existing and additional ministries. The mission is offering to expand its direct support to the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) during fiscal year.Based on the current experience working with (MOHP), the government’s capacity to manage USAID/Nepal resources to a level acceptable to USAID and to properly execute financial management roles and responsibilities as warranted by USAID rules and regulations is limited. Most of the independent audits carried out by USAID reported disallowed cost and instances of the weaknesses and material instances of non compliances. The lack of proper knowledge and guidance on USAID regulations in central and districts offices is one of the main reasons behind this weaknesses and other reason is frequent transfers of accounting staff in the field offices.
In order to close these gaps to establish minimum standards for work with the host government, USAID has conducted two training workshops to the accountants and the District Public Health Officers of DOHS over past four years.

Description:
Twenty-five years after it was first detected, the HIV epidemic has spread to every corner of the world. HIV/AIDS has destroyed the lives of millions of families and communities.HIV/AIDS is likely to be here for a long time, but how far it spreads and how much damage it does is entirely up to the response. Over the last years the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Nepal has gained ground, and Nepal has progressed from a “low prevalence” country to one with a so-called concentrated epidemic in certain sub-groups of the population (e.g. Injecting drug users). For Nepal the window of opportunity is closing fast to effectively address the epidemic.
The Government of Nepal has planned to scale up coverage and quality of HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment care and support services.

UNDP’s program component includes procurement of HIV and AIDS commodities and strengthening the national capacity to effectively manage and coordinate the HIV/AIDS response in Nepal.
