OUR APPROACH
A Multi-Faceted Approach to Disease Prevention
CDC-Nepal adopts a multi-faceted approach, encompassing community engagement, research, advocacy, and capacity-building initiatives to achieve its objectives.
Community Engagement and Advocacy
Develop and implement advocacy strategies to raise awareness and mobilise communities, decision-makers, and stakeholders towards addressing communicable and chronic diseases.
People-Centred
We place people and communities at the centre of our development work, listening to their priorities and encouraging them to actively participate in decisions that affect their lives.
Participatory
We believe development is stronger when people are involved in planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.
Policy Development and Implementation
Advocate for the development and implementation of policies supporting the prevention and control of communicable and chronic diseases at both national and local levels.
Inclusive
We strive to create opportunities for diverse groups to participate in development and benefit from development initiatives.
Research and Surveillance
Conduct epidemiological studies, surveillance, and monitoring to understand the burden and trends of communicable and chronic diseases in Nepal's communities.
Capacity Building
Provide training programmes and capacity-building initiatives for healthcare professionals, community health workers, and volunteers to enhance their knowledge and skills.
Sustainable
We focus on solutions that create long-term social, economic, institutional, and environmental value rather than short-term results.
Health Promotion and Education
Develop and disseminate educational materials and campaigns to promote healthy behaviours, early detection, and self-management within communities.
Locally Appropriate
We encourage solutions that reflect local realities and build on existing community knowledge, strengths, and resources.
Collaboration and Networking
Foster collaboration and partnerships with government agencies, non-governmental organisations, academic institutions, and international bodies to pool resources and expertise.
Collaborative
We work with communities, institutions, organisations, professionals, and other stakeholders because partnerships create stronger and more sustainable results.
Accountable
We value transparency, responsibility, integrity, and responsible use of the resources entrusted to us.
