FHI/Nepal Launches Radio Programs Focusing on HIV/AIDS MARCH 2005 — FHI/Nepal launched two innovative radio programs that integrate entertainment with HIV/AIDS education messages. Ek Apas Ka Kura (Talking to Each Other) debuted March 12, addressing HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. The regional radio program Desh Paradesh (Country and Abroad), which debuted March 25, is the first radio program produced in Nepal that uses satellite technology to reach Nepali migrant audiences in communities outside of the country. Both radio broadcasts offer a mix of drama, comedy, music, interviews and talk programming.

OCTOBER 2008 — FHI is supporting an ambitious and pioneering community- and home-based palliative care program in Nepal. In June 2008, over 1,600 HIV-positive clients in Nepal were receiving palliative care services through 12 implementing agencies.
JULY 2008 — When program planners and funders need data from an FHI country program, they reap what has been sown. Rather than GI/GO (garbage in, garbage out), FHI prefers the QI/QO (quality in, quality out) model. That's why FHI invests much effort into ensuring the data it gathers is valid, reliable, accurate, precise, and timely. Recent collaboration between FHI/Nepal and FHI/Vietnam on a data quality audit shows that such "south-to-south" exchanges can lead to very lively, collaborative, and fruitful exchanges. 
SEPTEMBER 2007 — For Family Health International, state-of-the-art geographic information systems (GIS) offer an exciting way to use data to improve outcomes in our HIV/AIDS programs. In late 2006, we began to explore how GIS can be applied in our programs in Kenya, Rwanda, and Zambia. FHI's offices in Indonesia, Nigeria, and Nepal are also using GIS.
