PART 7.3

Story A

Many programs rely on volunteers to do parts of the work. But, utilizing, motivating and managing volunteers is often tricky for NGOs to do effectively.

Story B

In 2016, Nepal became the first country in the region to implement a national immunization act, which ensured that all children have the right to vaccines. Nepal’s geography represents a barrier to the delivery of health services. Eighty percent of Nepal’s population lives in rural areas, many of which are difficult to reach by road or air. These challenges resulted in a high child mortality rate and low vaccination coverage together with a lack of political support and funding.
