Options Consultancy Services Limited (Options) is a global team of experts and innovators tackling some of the world’s most pressing health challenges. We work with leaders and change makers around the globe to bring health strategies to life. We provide ideas, advice and technical know-how that enable our partners to build a path to lasting change.
With 30 years’ experience in global health, we collaborate with our partners to explore existing evidence, combine expertise, scale up ideas and co-create solutions that accelerate change. This includes collaborating on policy design, managing initiatives, building powerful coalitions and galvanizing social movements. Our impact is felt across whole communities, with a focus on women, girls and those who have been marginalized.
Gender equality and social change are at the forefront of our work. As part of MSI Reproductive Choices, all our profits go back into supporting MSI’s own mission of children by choice, not chance. We believe in a world where everyone can access the high-quality health services they need, without financial burden.
Options has worked in Nepal for over 25 years. During this time, our work has focused on enabling women and children to access the healthcare they need by overcoming financial, geographic, and social barriers and facilitating long term systems change. We have worked at all levels from national to district and palika, and through local communities, supporting the delivery of successive Nepal Health Sector Programs. Our portfolio focuses on strengthening the devolved health system, supporting government leadership and delivery of the Nepal Health Sector Support Programme (NHSSP) since 2010 – now in its third phase of Options led implementation.
