Development projects in Nepal

Edge of Seven's Community Development Program brings education and economic opportunity to girls in rural Nepal. With a focus on improving infrastructure (like schools, dorms, and water supplies), the program utilizes a community centric-approach to fight poverty alongside local families (most of whom live on less than $1 a day). Projects this year support 4 villages in rural Nepal, improve educational outcomes for 250 women and girls and have a ripple effect on 5,000 village residents.

Quality improvement for burn services is a proven tool for reducing death and disability from burns, especially amongst young women and children. While primary prevention is crucial, secondary and tertiary prevention - reducing the severity of injuries and decreasing the frequency and severity of disability after an injury respectively - are also important strategies in reducing the burden of mortality and morbidity. The WHO estimates that the provision of adequate burn care in LMICs could reduce the overall mortality rate from burns by 30%. By working with 14 government and NGO burn services in Bangladesh and Nepal, Interburns will be reaching an annual patient population of approximately 35,000 patients, including 6,000 inpatients (typically with major, severe or complex burns that cause serious disability or death) and 29,000 outpatients (with smaller burns that can still result in burn contractures and cause significant disability if improperly treated). The great majority of these patients are among the poorest members of society who cannot afford private health care. Burn injuries and the high cost of treatment have a devastating impact on already impoverished families and communities. It is widely recognised in the international burn community that hospital admissions only represent the ‘top of the pyramid’ and a huge burden of burn injuries never reach health services. Community-level interventions including research, awareness-raising and primary prevention programmes are absolutely vital in reducing death and disability from burns. This programme will build on the foundations of GPAF-INN-034 and move beyond the service focus of that project to introduce community-level primary prevention and coordinated national programmes in burn prevention.

Interburns has developed the first set of operational standards for burns services in Low and Middle Income Countries, guidelines that define the staff skills and knowledge, equipment and operational capabilities required to achieve good outcomes for burn patients, despite limited resources. This project will pilot the standards in Bangladesh and Nepal, using training and education programmes to drive improvements in burn care in 14 selected burn services across both countries, ranging from small rural units to national burn centres in Dhaka and Kathmandu. The project will address a target population of more than 10,000 burn patients - the majority children and young women - improving the quality of care they receive and reducing the massive burden of preventable suffering, death and disability from burn injuries in Bangladesh and Nepal.;

Many developing countries are experiencing rapid and unplanned urbanisation as people move from rural to urban areas. This can create a variety of new health risks, from non-communicable diseases (as a result of lifestyle changes) and communicable diseases (since rural-urban migrants often suffer from sub-standard housing and inadequate water and sanitation facilities). At the same time, newly- urbanised people can find it more difficult than they did in their rural lives to access health services - partly because those services are over-stretched, but also because they lack the knowledge to navigate vastly more complex urban health systems, with their plurality of public and private service providers. Through this award, we will develop the research design, methods and partnerships for a large comparative project examining these issues in four countries across South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. The larger follow-on project will use a participatory approach to better understand lived experiences of the health costs/benefits of urbanisation and to identify mechanisms to enhance the accountability and responsiveness of urban health systems to the needs of the newly-urbanised. A pilot study in two rapidly-growing urban areas of Nepal will trial a series of participatory research methods (Participatory Video, Participatory Photo and Participatory Mapping) to capture the experiences and perceptions of both newly-urbanised people and providers of health services, focussing on: 1. How do newly urbanised people view the health risks/benefits of moving to the city? 2. How do newly urbanised people navigate pluralist urban health systems to fulfil their health needs? What health needs (if any) are they failing to fulfil? 3. What do service providers see as the particular needs and challenges facing the newly-urbanised? Through workshops with health system stakeholders and policymakers, the results of these participatory approaches will be shared and analysed, allowing us to answer: 4. How can these insights inform local, city and national health system policy and planning? Alongside the pilot study, we will undertake preparatory work for the follow-on project in Bangladesh, Ghana and Vietnam. This will involve: providing relevant training; systematically reviewing the existing literature; identifying potential research sites; building links with municipal authorities and other stakeholders and identifying their priorities; and learning lessons from the Nepal pilot that can feed into the research design of the follow-on study. The development award will lead to significant individual and institutional capacity building, through career development, the hiring of RAs, the provision of training to members of the research team, and skills and knowledge development of the participants (urban residents, health providers and decision- makers) in the pilot study.
