To improve the quality of life of women and children of Tonk district in Rajasthan, UNICEF, in partnership with the government, the NGOs and the like-minded institutions, is on its way to carry forward the reform processes cross cutting all sectors and initiating an action oriented programming through proactive participation of the rural communities. The Gramshakti project has ended and Behaviour Change Communication project is being implemented by almost the same NGOs which implemented Gramshakti project from 2005 onwards. The study was conducted with the following objectives: 1) to undertake desk review with respect to the studies conducted on the subject and in the field area in the past; 2) to assess the status of the key indicators among the target community; 3) to explore the extent to which behaviour change could occur among the beneficiaries; 4) to assess the effectiveness of the NGOs with respect to the desired performance; and 5) to make recommendations on the future course of action in supporting BCC partnerships.
