Technical Assistance for IDA assisted ICDS Systems Strengthening and Nutrition Improvement Project (ISSNIP)

Agency : Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India

The Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) initiated several measures to direct a strong focus on child nutrition and development. Conceptualizing the International Development Association (IDA) supported Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), Strengthening Nutrition Improvement Project (ISSNIP) was one of its unique initiatives that complements the Government of India’s larger efforts and is aligned with the key decisions made by the Council support 200 high burden districts in the country. Of these, ISSNIP was supposed to be implemented in 162 high burden districts in eight states. IIHMR was a consortium partner with

PricewaterhouseCoopers Private Ltd (PwC) and Child in Need Institute (CINI) to work as the Technical Agency (TA) for ISSNIP. The TA has a structure comprised of the Central TA team, consisting of the Project Director, Team Leader, Deputy Team Leader, Advisors and the five Technical Programme Coordinators (TPCs) leading each of the technical task areas. At the State level, State Team Leaders (STLs) were engaged in leading the state level activities. There were a team of four Regional Managers (RMs) in the state to assist the STL in the implementation of TA activities. The Technical Assistance Agency has provided support, guidance and assistance in achieving the key objectives of Phase 1 of the ISSNIP with interventions designed across the four key components:

  • Component 1: Institutional and Systems Strengthening
  • Component 2: Community Mobilization and Behaviour Change Communication (BCC)
  • Component 3: Piloting Convergent Nutrition Actions
  • Component 4: Project Management, Technical Assistance, Monitoring & Evaluation.

The TA Agency provided a specialized and focused technical expertise to the ICDS programme considering the need for techno- managerial support required for strengthening the policy framework, systems and capacities at the national and state levels. The project also entailed design and conduct of a range of specific pilots in limited areas to generate concrete evidence for approaches that are likely to work at a scale to improve programme outcomes
