Mapping and size estimation of key populations in Nepal 2024

The 2024 Population Size Estimation (PSE) exercise followed a geographical mapping approach similar to the 2010 and 2016 exercises. In addition, three other methods were used to estimate the size of key populations: the capture-recapture method, network scale-up, and service multiplier methods.

This survey aimed to generate both sub-national and national level estimates of the size of key populations targeted by HIV-related interventions managed at the district level in collaboration with national, local partners, and community organizations.
