Catalyzing Community Structures to Support Integrated Health & Nutrition Outcomes for Children in Rajasthan & West Bengal
Agency : Save the Children, Jaipur
In India, despite the consistent efforts of different health projects and programs, the FHS 23 finding reflects that modest progress has been made in the direction of ameliorating the status of health and nutrition of mother and child. The data collated by various agencies shows that one woman dies every seventh minute from complications due to pregnancy and child birth. About 43 per cent of all worlds' infants who are born with a low birth weight are born in India. About 55 million i.e. one third of the world's underweight children under age five live in India. Thus, appropriate and adequate care of mother and child is unquestionable.
Save the Children executed a project "Catalyzing community structures to support integrated health and nutrition outcomes for children" from September 2008 to July 2009 with the help of partner NGOs. The aim of the project was to improve the health conditions of mother and child by strengthening the community. The strengthening strategy was to provide one community health volunteer (CHV) in every identified village and form men and women support groups for enabling environment. Broadly, the approach was community-based behaviour change communication through household level counseling and education. IIHMR was requested to conduct a review of the project in Rajasthan and West Bengal with the following objectives:
- To assess the relevance of CHV model
- To know the perspective of the beneficiaries on the knowledge gain, practices and services provided by the CHV
- To document the benefits of the program perceived by different stakeholders
- To come up with a set of recommendations for the future projects in the area of Health and Nutrition.
