  • STRIDE Service Coverage Assessment USAID, Nepal
    STRIDE Service Coverage Assessment USAID, Nepal Order number: AID-367-O-16-00004 March 12, 2017 Anders Eklund Worldwide Rehabilitation Ltd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nepal, like other countries in the region, has a substantial number of people who need physical rehabilitation. The 10-year civil conflict and the earthquake in April 2015 contributed to increasing that need. The Strengthening Rehabilitation in District Environs (STRIDE) program seeks to ensure that sustainable, accessible and quality physical rehabilitation services and community-based follow-up are provided for people with physical disabilities. The program is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Handicap International (HI) with sub-awards to five physical rehabilitation centers (PRCs) in four of the country's five regions. It was launched in January 2010 and is now in its second three-year extension (ending in January 2019). STRIDE plays an important role in the Nepali rehabilitation sector. To date, STRIDE PRCs have successfully provided physical rehabilitation services to more than 40,000 persons, including the delivery of more than 7200 prostheses and orthoses, 1200 wheelchairs and 4300 mobility aids. Services are normally center-based, but are also provided through outreach rehabilitation camps and field visits (so far reaching 52 of Nepal's 75 districts), with community disability workers (CDWs) conducting follow-up in the field. The main question that the present service coverage assessment sets out to answer is to what degree the physical rehabilitation services in Nepal, and in particular those of the five STRIDE PRCs, are able to meet the country's rehabilitation needs.
