Rapid Assessment of MCHN Services in UNICEF-Focus Five Districts in Rajasthan

Agency : UNICEF Rajasthan

In relation to the MDGs on health and nutrition, UNICEF proposed to undertake accelerated efforts in Baran, Barmer, Dungarpur, Sawai Madhopur and Tonk districts for ensuring effective results in MCHN interventions.

The objectives of the study were to develop a database on enabling factors and barriers to MCHN services with a frame of service inputs, service implementation process and its output. This was done through an in-depth analysis of the planning process: availability of appropriate and adequate supplies at different service units: understanding community knowledge, behaviour and utilization patterns towards these services; and studying the level of knowledge and skills of frontline workers and the mechanism established for supportive supervision and monitoring of the MCHN intervention.
