Abstract

This study analyses to what extent NGOs has been delivering health services particularly reproductive health at local level in Nepal and examines how much people were satisfied by service delivered by NGOs by drawing information through 175 questionnaires distributed to local residents at local level in Nepal. In addition, interview was carried out with key informants. Secondary data also used to consolidate the study. The finding of the study showed that more reproductive health policy was implemented at Lalitpur Sub-metropolitan City (LSMC) (urban) than Banging Development Committee (BVDC) (rural) areas due to service provided by NGOs. However, people were not satisfied by the services provided by NGOs even though they created health awareness. The study revealed that donor support and urban-centric conditioned for the sake of continuity of health services.
