Our client is a respected, International Development Agency, that works across the globe to promote children's survival, protection and development.
Project Background:
Madhya Pradesh (MP) is the second largest Indian state in size with the target population around two million infants, around 2.2 million pregnant ladies. Though the full immunization coverage of the State has increased from 36.2% in DLHS 3 to 53.6% in NFHS 4 (2014-15), there are 27 districts in the State which have full immunization coverage below state average and amongst them 21 districts have < 50% coverage (NFHS 4). However, there are inter-district disparities in fully immunized children coverage with Raisen having highest coverage of 78.5% and Alirajpur having lowest coverage of 22.6%. Recently GoI has announced Intensified Mission Indradhanush which is a focused strategy to cover dropouts and left outs by ensuring a broad-based engagement of all stakeholders in the immunization program. This is already operationalized in MP in 2017 and the gains made under IMI will be incorporated in RI in 2018.
95.6% of children suffering from diarrhea received ORS/ORT/HAF but the data on use of Zn in diarrhea management is not available. State having high burden of malnutrition, highest IMR and high U5MR, needs to promote use of ORS and Zn in diarrhea management to decrease morbidity and mortality due to diarrhea. Govt of India NHM has piloted the India Action Plan for Prevention of Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (IAPPD) and India Newborn Action Plan (INAP) in 2014 in four states MP, Rajasthan, UP and Bihar to strengthen pneumonia and diarrhea. IDA is providing the necessary technical support to strengthen RI and diarrhea management program.
