Preparation of District Action Plans under NRhM

Agency : Department of Medical, health and Family Welfare, Government of Rajasthan.

The Government of Rajasthan selected IhMR for providing technical support in developing five-year District Action Plans under NRhM. IhMR provided technical assistance for five districts, namely Bundi, Kota, Tonk, Sawai Madhopur and Karauli.

The District Action Plans were prepared in consultation with the district and state officials for a period of five years from 2007-08 to 2011-12. For preparation of the plans, various activities were undertaken in each of the selected districts, such as orientation workshops for District Planning Teams and Block Planning Teams. The stakeholders consultations were held at the block level in each district. The village consultations were also conducted in 15-16 villages in each of the selected districts. As a part of planning process, a facility survey was also carried out in each of the districts at primary health centers (PhCs) and sub-centers to assess the gap at the public health facilities with respect to IPhS. The findings of the facility survey, stakeholders' consultations, and village consultations were used in developing the plans.

Each component of the plan consisted of the following sections: situational analysis, objectives, strategies, activities to be implemented, time line, estimated budget and work plan for five years. The District Action Plans were reviewed by the respective district health officials. The revised and modified plans were submitted to Government of Rajasthan for necessary implementation.
