                                This research paper uses  the Health  Resources  and  services  Availability Mapping  System (HeRAMS) database to develop two composite indices – one  for health centres and one for hospitals – in order to analyse and assess the health facilities’ performance across time and to evaluate the di

The indices will provide an evidence-based tool for the main actors in the health  sector  to  identify  gaps, to  intervene  accordingly  and  to  assess  the  impact  of  their interventions on the health  system.  The process  of constructing the indices  includes description and selection of variables, application  of normalization techniques and weighting  methods,  and  sensitivity analysis. 
A  literature  review, analysis  of  the scope  of the HeRAMS database, analysis of the  crisis situation, data limitation and expert consultations were the main aspects of the construction process of the indices.

Leaping off from the lessons learned from the previous UNDAF (2013-2017), this new framework builds upon successes, incorporates emerging issues and agreements, and serves to address Nepal’s larger economic, social, and environmental objectives.
