Developing Competency Framework for Mainstreaming Gender Responsive Healthcare Services

Agency : ICMR

The study was aimed at assessing health care providers’ and managers’  understanding of and perspective on gender equality and equity with a focus on adolescent health care services in Rajasthan and to develop competency framework for providing gender-responsive services by various levels of health care providers (men and women) including quality characteristics, standard operating procedures, and indicators especially for adolescent reproductive health services using structure, processes and outcome framework of quality. As a first step, a matrix was developed to understand the roles and responsibilities of health functionaries and gender gaps were identified to develop tools for data collection. To finalize the framework on gender competencies, a Delphi technique was used with a total of nine experts.

Situational analysis study was conducted in six districts, namely Banswara, Udaipur, Ajmer, Jodhpur, Bharatpur and Sri Ganganagar.  Out of total of medical officers 23 female and an equal number of male medical officers were interviewed. In addition, 465 ANMs and district level officials (CMHO, PMO, RCHO, DPM, and PC & PNDT Coordinator) were also the part of the study.

Based on the key findings of the situational analysis, a draft of competency framework for medical officers and ANMs was prepared and discussed with the Delphi experts in a workshop. The suggestions were incorporated. The framework was pre-tested along with the medical officers and ANMs by having interaction in the study districts.
