Replication data for: Nepal (2006): Project MAP - Coverage and Performance of Family Planning Products in Nepal

The main objective of the survey is to monitor the coverage, quality of coverage and access indicators for the following reproductive health products / family planning methods in rural and urban areas of Nepal: injectable contraceptives (Sangini, OK 3-month and OK 1-month), condoms (Dhaal and OK), oral contraceptive pills (Nilocan White, Sunaulo Gulaf, OK POP and OK COC), emergency contraceptives (Postinor 2), IUDs (Copper T and Multiload) and implants (Norplant).The MAP methodology uses lot quality assurance sampling techniques (LQAS) to draw a sample of 19 rural and 19 urban wards from the complete list of rural and urban wards with probability proportional to the population size of the ward. A sample of 19 provides an acceptable level of error for making management decisions. With at least 92 percent accuracy, it identifies whether a coverage benchmark has been reached or whether a product/ service area is below the average coverage of a program area. A census of retail outlets selling modern contraceptive methods was conducted in these sample wards.
