District Child Health Coordinator-RMNCH+A - International Development Agency

1. POSITION VACANT: District Child Health Coordinator-RMNCH+A, International Development Agency, Anuppur, Madhya Pradesh
2. ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND:
Our client is a respected, International Development Agency, that works across the globe to promote children's survival, protection and development.

Project Background:
Health program in MP is one of the most challenging programs in view of the State having highest IMR and 4th highest MMR in the Country. The last country program has witnessed the establishment of SNCUs in all districts, extension of NBCCs and NBSUs and development of Model Labour Rooms. In addition, infection control through improvements in WASH infrastructure and practices have received a boost and is institutionalized in these districts. RMNCHA planning and budgeting in the district PIPs have been supported and regular follow up using the CTA score card has been achieved. Immunization has witnessed the successful facilitation of Mission Indradhanush and Intensified Mission Indradhanush across these districts and improvement in supply chain management through the EVM initiative.
The Continuum of Care model conceptualized and piloted by IDA along with State and District health society in Guna and Shivpuri has been mainstreamed and has become the guiding principle of State Maternal and Child health Plan. Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Health+ Adolescent (RMNCH+A) strategy has key indicators based on the “continuum of care “through various stages of the life cycle, with Inclusion of adolescence as a major life cycle stage in reproductive and child health programs of NHM across the country. RMNCH+A strategy provides a comprehensive framework for programming to improve women and children’s health. To make progress on the most critical interventions, focus on the first 1000-day window of opportunity between pregnancy and the first 24 months is critical with a broader lifecycle approach. Based on a composite health index, districts within a state were ranked and the bottom 25% of districts along with those affected by left wing extremism were selected as HPDs.
Initially, a total 184 high priority districts had been identified across India to intensify efforts across the country. Government of India had identified 17 RMNCH+A districts in Madhya Pradesh including Alirajpur, Jhabua, Panna, Chhatarpur, Tikamgarh, Sagar, Raisen, Damoh, Barwani, Dindori, Satna, Siddhi, Singrauli, Shahdol, Umaria, Annuppur and Mandla. In 2017, the revised list of 20 RMNCH+A focus districts was identified for Madhya Pradesh. The revised list does not contain the earlier HPDs Sagar, Raisen, Umaria and Anuppur and includes the new HPDs Ashoknagar, Shivpuri, Sheopur, Vidisha, Khandwa and Guna. In 2016, after the exit of DFID, Tata Trust has taken over as the lead partner in Madhya Pradesh.
IDA is currently supporting four RMNCH+A districts, viz; Shahdol, Anuppur, Umaria and Mandla of which two (Umaria and Anuppur) are no longer in the HPD list. However, IDA support will continue for 2018-19 in these districts to carry forward the work done and consolidate progress in these districts. Additionally, IDA also supports three high focus districts Guna, Shivpuri and Sheopur, which are included in the new HPD list. For 2018, IDA will provide support for the 5 RMNCHA HPDs Mandla, Shahdol, Guna, Shivpuri and Sheopur and the 2 IDA focus districts of Umaria and Anuppur. In addition, Alirajpur and Jhabua will be taken up by IDA in 2018-19 with a predominantly adolescent programming focus.
The broad principles of harmonization are value addition to the national programme, technical and managerial support across thematic areas, role of development partners as mentors and catalysts, standardized guidelines and innovations in service delivery mechanisms.
