Availability of NDHS surveysfor forecastong>inong>g ong>andong> a shift ong>inong>contraceptive commoditiesdistributedNepal has conducted fertility ong>andong> family plannong>inong>g surveyssong>inong>ce 1976 for each five-year ong>inong>terval; song>inong>ce 1996 it hasconducted Demographic ong>andong> Health Surveys (DHS).Nepal has already undertaken three such surveys (ong>inong> 1996,2001 ong>andong> 2006), ong>andong> it has recently conducted anoong>theong>rone for 2011.

These surveys provide adequateong>inong>formation on ong>theong> levels ong>andong> trends of contraceptivemethod mix, which can be used for estimatong>inong>g futurerequirements for contraceptives.There have been some ong>inong>dications that a shift ong>inong>contraceptive commodities distributed by sources ong>inong>Nepal has been takong>inong>g place (see Table 14). First, althoughong>theong> government sector contong>inong>uously predomong>inong>ates as asource of any modern contraceptive method, its sharehas tended to declong>inong>e over ong>theong> years.

This holds true for all ong>inong>dividualmodern methods except IUDs. Third, ong>theong> share of ong>theong>private medical sector has almost doubled between 2001ong>andong> 2006; reachong>inong>g 13.8 per cent ong>inong> that year after it hadbeen only 7.3 per cent ong>inong> 2001. The ong>inong>crease is remarkablefor all methods, especially of pills, ong>inong>jectables, implants ong>andong>condoms.
