What CREHPA does

CREHPA (Center for Research on Environment, Health and Population Activities) is a Nepal-based non-profit consultancy and research organization founded in 1994 and headquartered in Lalitpur, with approximately 31 employees. The organization provides research and advisory services across public health, population dynamics, reproductive health (including abortion), gender and development, environment, community development, and market research. Its work is delivered through three core service lines: (1) Consultancy Research — feasibility studies, situational assessments, marketing surveys, and impact assessments commissioned on request by development agencies and partners; (2) Policy Research — independent research on major public health issues, particularly sexual and reproductive health and rights of Nepali citizens; and (3) Training and Action Research — capacity-building, advocacy, and empowerment programs targeted at marginalized communities, especially women and adolescent girls.

The organization's business model is project-based professional services revenue, funded by international development agencies, multilateral organizations, and academic partners. CREHPA's client base spans major UN agencies (UNFPA, UNICEF, WHO, UNESCO), bilateral donors (GIZ, DFID, EU), foundations (Ford Foundation), and global academic institutions (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Columbia University, Oxford University, UCSF, Karolinska Institutet, University of Tokyo). No pricing is publicly disclosed, and the organization distributes its outputs through direct consultancy engagement and downloadable publications on its website. The organization operates as a specialized local research partner to the international development ecosystem, with no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, or commercial product line.
