On the other hand, thefhird round of the National Fami\\ly Health Survey, 2005-
2006 (NFHS 3) shows some positive trends at the national level as well as a
n~mb~r of!nd!.catQrs r~veqlthat.rnanYrnoreefforts are required. The number of
infant deaths per 1000 live births has reduced from 68 in NFHS - 2 (1998-99) to
57 in NFHS - 3. Trends in. institutional delivery have also shown an increase
from 3.4% to 4!1%.TPRihas shown a slight decline from 2.9 to 2.7 between the
two surveys and the contraceptive use has correspondingly increased from 48%
to56~lo. Vacc,!ne.coverage for chi,.ldren 12-23 months continues to be low at
44% and an alarming 46% children below the age of 3 years are underweight.

achievement of basic demographic indices are visible not just at the state level
but also within the statesat the district and sub-district levels.

districts have an index value below 50 thereby reflecting the dismal picture of
reproductive and child health and social development in the country.
The Foundation continues to focus on the socio demographically backward,
high fertility statesof Uttar Pradesh,Bihar, Madhya PradeshancfRajasthan, which
represent 40% of the country's population and could contribute well over 50%
of the population growth in the coming decades. PFI continues to support a
number of grassroots organizations spread in the statesof Rajasthan, Jharkhand,
Uttar Pradesh and Orissa to implement programmes with focus on reproductive
health and family planning in rural areas. Urban health models are supported in
the statesof Delhi and Gujarat and are expected to throw up lessonsfor increasing
accessto reproductive health includingfamHy planning servicesto slum dweHers.
Aspart of its advocacy initiatives, the Foundation organized a district level seminar
on Population, Health and Social Development in November, 2006 in
collaboration with the Bihar Legislative Forum at Kishanganj, Bihar. Kishanganj
district ranks the second lowest in the country in terms of health indicators. Such
a seminar on health and population issueshad not been held before at a district
level and it was for the first time that PFIin collaboration with the Bihar Legislative
Forum had organized a seminar with active participation of MLAsfrom a/l parties,
elected PRIrepresentatives from the Gram Panchayat to the district level and the
district administration. Female elected members of the Panchayats were also
present in large numbers.

Excerpts from the autobiography -
at
d
In the yrocess tif writing this yiece, main{y an exercise in reco{{ection and
stringing together diparate thoughts into a sem6{ance tif coherence, I was
overtaken, as never 6ifore, 6y a sense tif'seff'. It struck me quite forcifu{{y that
individua{life, through seemingfy dividedinto stages Cikechi{dhood; ado{escence,
maturity and oed age, is a tota{ one. A life is no CessvaCid{y e~ressed in oed age
or chi{dhood than in its mature years. In fact, the queries which arise in the
mind tif a chi{d; more tiften than not, remain unreso{ved even in oed age. When I was
four orfive years o{d; I asked myseff with wonder how it wou{d have 6een if myyarents were
not married to one another. "Wou{d I stiff have 6een 'IT' This memory has come 6ack with
reitiforcedstrength and my wonderment is no Cesstoday.
My chi{dhood was so {ong ago, over seven decades 6ack. It was devoid tif anything tif a
startCingor pectacu{ar nature. There were no nightmares, no woffyrowCing at the door; the
environment at home was unsu{fied 6y imyrecations and disaster.
The on{y inte{figencethat I seem to have dip{ayed was in the choicetif myyarents. Whi{e my
mother was a gent{e creature, myfather was ayarticu{ar{y redou6ta6{efigure. The ratter, at
{east,ought to have given me a chp on the shou{der. The theory goes that the worst miifortune
that can htpyen to an ordinaryyerson is to have an extraordinaryfather. My e~erience has
6een the contrary. There must 6e ayrover6 in some {anguage or otlier, if not, {et me coin it to
say, "Born {u'kY, a{ways {u,rcy."Aff my ty:eI /iave stum6{ed '9'Dn {u,rcy,/ianus t!f a {arye
size, and wlienever flit!} were wasted, it was 6e,ause t!f my own t:are{esmess.
My years in schoof and co{{egef,ourteen years in a{C,constitute a sing{e memory. They have
yarts, to 6e sure, 6ut they do not easi{y sparate themsefves from one another as yieces tif
time. Timefor me as 60y and ado{escent, as, indeed;for a{{ thosefortunate in tliat age gr°'9',
did not '.Pass' so much as pread in a{{ directions. It osci{{ated 6etween sCow and fast, 6ut it
never went in reverse gear. For, memory comes on{y with the accretion tif years. I was y{eafed
with yetp{e and things I saw and knew. The secret, I think, was that I was content with
myse!J.
I was mmu{ated, wlii{e I was in co{{e!Je,to ask wliy and wlierifore a6out fliings and afso to
dream tliings t/iat were never tliere and say, wliy notl Had I known, I wou{d liave eclioed tlie
su6Cime dictum tif Newton that it was onfy 6y standing on the shou{ders tif giants who had

come and gone that every generation clim6s to new and untried vistas and concpts. Equa{{y
true is another thought that the greater the seeming newness and the greater the seeming
change, the more it remains the same thing.
When I graduated in 1935, I wasy{eased with myse!f It was soon ctpyed 6y a dou6{e event on
the initiative tif myfather, and they were to itifCuence my entire future. I got married. I was
admitted into DCM as an tpyrentice.
06vious{y, father was on the {ook~outfor a 6ridefor me. In those days, as 60ys and girCs did
not meet too tiften in our community, arranged marriages were common. Not so common
were marriages through advertisement co{umns in the Press. He concentrated on the
matrimonia{ co{umns in the dailies. A yarticu{ar advertisement ]rom Hissar caught my
father's fancy. This was how I got married to Shei{a, daughter tif Brij Mohan LaC,a 6arrister
with {andedYYlperty in Hissar. Shei{a had many interests, such as music, drama, correction
tif o{djewe{{ery and rare sarees, 6a{{:room dancing, etc. In fact, it was she who yersuaded me
into 6aa:room dancing. With the yassage tif time, her interests changed and for the yast few
years, she has taken to a religious rife and has 6ecome a Radha Soami.
As an tpyrentice I had to {earn ]rom A to Z,]rom cfeaning the jfoor to tending the machine
like any ordinary worker. I had to enter the Mi{{yremises through the worker's gate. These
sa{utary {essons have 6een utiforgetta6{e.
My innings in DCM has 6een a {ong one: 50 years. Haff a century is ayhrase with an pocha{
ring. Many things did htpyen, and they tiffected dlrect{y or indlrectfy the C!J1erationsand
fortunes tif the comyany.
What are the {essons? Common sense is uncommon. It is not on{y a summary tif e~erience,
6ut is a Mend tif our know{edge tif our fe{{owmen with seff~know{edge and know{ed'ge tif
circumstances around. From these, it draws its conc{usions and suggests the course tif action
to 6efo{{owed. At the same time, one has to 6e ever vigi{ant 6ecause if anyone tif these may
change, our concfusions and actions must 6e different. When there are rtpid changes in the
circumstances or conditions tif 6usiness C!J1erationsa,s have 6een the case in our indpendence

RCH Projects with Corporate
Sector -
The Foundation since its inception has been
working with corporate houses to support models
where Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) services,
including family planning, are provided within a
framework of reproductive rights. The Foundation has
also conducted series of workshops on population and
health and promotion of girl child to influence policy
shifts within the corporate sector.
PFI is currently supporting such corporate
initiatives in the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh
and Uttar Pradesh, where programmes are being
implemented for communities living in underserved
areas. Corporate houses are now interested in coming
forward for initiating or scaling up programmes on
issues of RCH/Family Planning (FP) as part of their
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).Therefore, as a
part of its core activities, PFI is also looking at
developing a resource package for the corporate sector,
which would help the corporate sector to design and
implement reproductive health and family planning
programmes in their areas.
Totallntegrated Package for Dewas District in Madhya
Pradesh
PFI in collaboration with Ranbaxy Community
Health Care Society, Dewas, Madhya Pradesh started
this five year project in 2001, which was implemented.
in two phases, covering a population of around 100,000
in Dewas Block. Services in the project were provided
from 35 service delivery points (6 urban service delivery
points covering 17,000 population and 29 rural centres
covering 83,000 population) through two mobile units.
Community Health Volunteers (CHVs), AanganWadi
Workers (AWWs), Dais and Gram Swasthya Samiti
members were trained. Networking with Government
and ICDS centres was also done. The 151phase was
completed in 2005. A mid-term evaluation carried out
at the end of phase Irevealed an increase in contraceptive
prevalence rate and an improvement in ANC coverage,
as compared to the basel ine survey.

As part of the modified strategy in the second phase
from April 2005 onwards, couples and Registered
Medical Practitioners (RMPs) were included as CHVs.
35 male volunteers were selected in addition to the 35
existing female volunteers and their capacities were built.
There was also a focus on increasing community
participation by involving the Panchayats and SHGs
through IEC and social marketing. During the past
one year, various training programmes have been
conducted for Dais, AWWs, CHVs, Gram Swaasthya
Samitis and RMPs. Group discussions, film shows and
lectures were also organized on Reproductive Health
(RH) issues. The project continued to provide RH
services through the mobile clinic. In collaboration with
Madhya Pradeshpublic health system, special emphasis
was given to promote No-scalpel Vasectomy and the
efforts were very successful. In addition, uptake of other
family planning methods and institutional delivery also
increased. The project has reached its completion on
31't March, 2007 and the end-line survey has been
initiated.
Intensive Family Welfare Project in Gunnour Block,
BadaunDistrict, Uttar Pradesh
The Population Foundation of India in collaboration
with Tata Chemicals Society for Rural Development
comprehensive health care to the rural population in
Gunnour Block for achieving the targets laid down by
UP Population Policy to reduce the total fertility rate to
2.7 per woman; reduce maternal mortality rate by 50%
from 707 to 394 per 100,000 live births; reduce infant
mortality rate from 85 per 1000 live births to 73 per
1000 live births, (ij) ensure the sustainability of the
project activities even after the completion of the project,
(iii) generate awareness amongst the villagers within
the project areaon the Government servicesand increase
their ability to utilize and demand for services.
The enti re project area was covered in two phases.
48 villages were covered in the first phase. During this
phase, the Dais were trained on RCH and safe delivery
practices by Kirti Resource Centre. Village volunteers
were selected and trained on First Aid and RH issuesby
S1. John's Ambulance Association. Supportive IEC
activities were also carried out at the community level.
The second phase began in April 2004 in which 46
villages were added for service coverage. One trained
male volunteer, Swaasthya Mitra was also included in
most of the villages for community mobilization. The

Naya Savera in Rajasthan
The Population Foundation of India in association
with JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd is implementing an
integrated family welfare programme, Naya Savera in
10 villages in Pindwara Tehsil ofSirohi district, Rajasthan
covering a population of 27,000. This four-year project
started in August 2004.
Baseline assessment of the project showed that 3
ANC check-ups were availed by 35.9% women amongst
whom 20.5% were registered in 1'1trimester. 27% of
women had institutional deliveries, 25% of children
aged 12-23 months had complete immunization, 26%
of women were aware of modern family planning
methods and 13.5% were using them.
Under the project, a Village Level Motivator (VLM)
had been identified in each village and the stakeholders
were trained and oriented. During the past one year,
some of the VLMs are being developed as trainers.
Meetings in villages were held with Mahila Mandals,
families and school children. Liaisoning was done with
the Block PHC officials for rapport building and supply
of medicines and condoms. A mobile clinic continued
to cover the project areas and del iver RH services. The
antenatal, postnatal and immunization, including
childhood immunization, has increased. The uptake of
contraceptives have also increased gradually. Treatment
seeking behaviour for RTI/STIhasbeen very limited and
strategy for increasing this is being developed.
PARIVARTAN in Rajasthan
The Foundation in association with JK Tyres started
an Integrated Family Welfare and Population
Development Project, PARIVARTAN in Rajsamand
Block, Rajasthan in July 2004. This five year project has
been providing RH services through a mobile clinic in
two phases to a population of around 1,00,000 in 60
villages in Rajsamand block. Panchayat Co-ordinators
and Village Level Motivators (VLMs) were selected and
trained by project medical officer and nurses on RCH
services and quality of care. Awareness generation
programmes were undertaken in the community. The
project also has a component focusing on socio-
economic development.
r
A baseline survey carried out by an external agency
showed 17% had availed 3 ANCs, 70% deliveries were
conducted at home and only 27% were by trained birth
attendants. Contraceptive prevalence rate was 21 % and
31 % children were immunized.
In the first phase, 32 villages were covered.
Antenatal and immunization cards were printed and
door to door visits in the community were made during
the days of medical camps to create awareness about
the servicesavailable. Reporting formats were developed
and registers were given to VLMs.
During the pastone year, second phaseof the project
covering additional 28 villages with RH services has
been initiated. However, service delivery also continued
in the first phase villages by a separateteam. The project
has a strong focus on socio-economic activities where
in two water tanks for drinking water and a bathing
facility at a cremation site were constructed. A mid
term qualitative evaluation ofthe project by an external
agency indicated an improvement in the coverage of
ANC, PNC, institutional delivery and contraceptive
coverage. SomeAWWs and Dais were recruited asVLMs
in the second phase areasthereby creating linKageswith
the public health system.The project hasstartedcharging
user fees from the community, which will serve to add
value to the services.

RCH Projects with NCOs
In order to prioritize the efforts on population
stabilization, the Foundation focuses its project
activities from the core funds in 327 districts which
are socially and demographically disadvantaged and
are lagging far behind in human development index
and RH indicators. The Foundation, in association with
the partner NGOs, based in the respective states, has
been undertaking such initiatives in the states of
Karnataka, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Jharkhand,
Rajasthan and Delhi. The Foundation works with
N~Os to build their capacity as a key strategy, either
through direct technical assistance or facilitated
through a countrywide network of collaborating
individuals and institutions.
The main objectives of such collaboration are to
(i) identify and strengthen small organizations to
implement models with the potential of large scale
change, and (ij)build partnership and funding leverages
with large established organizations where there is
mutual strengthening of technical expertise between
PFI and the primary implementing agency.
RCH and Primary Health Care through Public-Private
Partnership
The project, 'Total Management of Essential RCH
and Primary Health Care through Public-Private
Partnership: A Model and Innovative Project in

Promotion of Maternal and Neonatal Survival in
Rayagada
PFI in collaboration with Orissa Voluntary Health
Association (OVHA), Bhubaneswar has been
implementing an innovative initiative to promote
maternal and neonatal survival in a tribal and remote
block Bissamcuttack, in Rayagadadistrict of Orissa since
October 2006. OVHA is a state level federation of 154
NGOs working at the grassroots level on health issues
in the state. The project covers 60 remote tribal villages
in 12 Gram Panchayats of the block and caters to a
population of approximately 33000.
The objectives of the project are to (i) fad Iitate the
processof ensuring essential antenatal, intra natal, post
natal care and impart education to young women and
expectant mothers on all aspects of pregnancy, hygiene
and newborn care, (ii) ensure effective links for referral
systemand encourage institutional delivery of high-risk
pregnancies and obstetrical emergencies, (iii) elicit active
community participation and ownership through
involvement of community stakeholders, (iv) promote
modern family planning practices through information
sharing on various contraceptive choices to eligible
couples and (v) documentation and dissemination of
lessons learned at the state level.
A baseline survey cond ucted in 60 vi Ilages showed
that over 94% of currently married women were 19
years or less when they got married. The neo-natal
mortality was 81, infant mortality rate was 115, child
mortality rate (below 2 years) was 127 and the under
five mortality rate was 145 per 1000 live births. The
maternal mortality ratio was 483 per 1,00800 live
births. Knowledge about the danger signs during
pregnancy was quite poor amongst the pregnant
women. Nearly 87% of women reported thattheir last
delivery was at home. Full immunization coverage of
the children in the age-group of 12-23 months Was
only 28%. The fertility rate of women in the
reproductive age was estimated at 4.67.
The present initiative aims at addressing the three
critical delays responsible for maternal and neo natal
deaths - delayin decision making, delay in transportation
and delay in getting s~rvice?at the health centre. The
project aims at bridging the gap in all the above areas in
close collaboration with block health administration
and other private medical services in the area. One of
the important aspects of the projectis the development
of village plan based on the community needs
assessment. Detai led vi lIage-wise registers for

Attempts are made to sensitize the community to make
their own transport arrangements at the vi Ilage level.
Project activities were initiated in October 2006.
60 Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) were selected
and the training programmes for CHVs were organized.
Preliminary meetings with different stakeholders were
conducted in 60 project villages to inform the
community about the project and its activities. A
launching ceremony of the project with participation of
more than 200 persons was held. The organization has
taken initiative in establishing rapport with the
community, the Government departments, PRls, ICDS
officials and referral centres.
Male Participation in FamilyPlanningand Reproductive

methods among el igible couples, including
contraceptive methods for male, and (iii) facilitate
provision of services for safe motherhood, primal y
immunization and document and disseminate the
lessons learned.
Under the project, 60 Lady Link Workers (LLW) and
19 Male Link Workers (MLW) were selected, oriented
and trained. 364 meetings have been held in the
community in which 1113 mothers-in-law, 799 pregnant
women and 1508 eligible couples participated. Through
house to house survey, 377 new pregnant women and
2217 children were identified and registered. A baseline
survey of the project showed that institutional del ivery
was 13.2% and home delivery by skilled birth attendants
was 14.4%; complete immunization in the area was
47.3%; Only 17.2 percent women had knowledge about
all methods of contraception. Contraceptive prevalence
rate was 42.7%, the acceptance of NSV however was
as low as 1%.
The behavioural change communication (BCC)
material is being developed with a focus on male
involvement in RH.
Assessment, Prevention and Control ot Iron Deficiency
Anaemia among Adolescent Girls, Pregnant and
LactatingMothers
The main objectives of the project are to (i) enhance
the knowledge, attitude and practices on fam iIy
planning, safe motherhood and child health practices
among eligible couples and especially men in the fam iIy,
(ii) address the unmet need for contraception by
With the support of PFI, this project is being
implemented by Sukarya since May 2006 in 10 villages
of Gurgaon district, Haryana covering a population of
30,000. The project aims to reduce the prevalence of
Iron Deficiency Anaemia among the girls in the age
group of 13-18 years, pregnant women and lactating
mothers in Gurgaon district of Haryana.
A consultative meet was organized in May 2006 to
share the activities of the proposed project. Social
mapping of all 10 villages was done to understand the
background of the residents,educational status,available
health services, Government facilities like roads, water
sources and sanitation facilities in the project area.
The baseline survey revealed that 58.5 percent of
the adolescents, 54.8 percent of pregnant women and
51.6 percent lactating women had knowledge of

anaemia. 41.1 percent of the pregnant women and 57.9
percent of the lactating women identified lack of
nutritional food as the root cause of anaemia. 35 percent
of the unmarried adolescent girls were suffering from
anaemia. Almost two thirds ofthe pregnant and lactating
women were also found to be anaemic.
The project enlisted 758 pregnant women and 1033
lactati ng women and 1440 adolescent gi rls, of wh ich
481 anaemia cases were detected. IFA and de-worming
tablets were distributed to 614 and 114 clients
respectively. Health camps and nutrition demonstrations
are being organized regularly. Group meetings and
individual counseling is done with the target group

Improvement of Mater(\\al and Child Health through
LifeCycle Approach
PFI started this five year project in April 2004 in
association with Child in Need Institute (ClN!),
Jharkhand in Churchu Block of Hazaribagh district in
Jharkhand. The project renders services to a population
of 85,000.
The main objectives of the project are to strengthen
the capacities of four partner NGOs to provide integrated
MCH services, develop and implement the life cycle
based community level intervention to improve safe
motherhood and child survival and growth. Attainment
of fertility goals, male participation, informed choices
on health and health service delivery, documentation
and dissemination of the lessonslearned are also integral
to the project.
The project is being implemented in three phases
over a period of five years. In initial six months (1st
phase), the focus was on capacity building of NGOs,
designing the intervention package and conducting a

baseline survey. The baseline results showed high level
of awareness on ANC, TT, IFA, sterilization and
childhood immunization, but awareness on danger signs
of pregnancy and child birth, five cleans, importance of
institutional deliveries, new born care, HIV/RTI/STaInd
condom use was low.
In the implementation phase of 48 months (lind
phase) the project concentrates on strengthening
capacities of NGOs for programme implementation with
a desired level of quality of care. During the period,
community based institutions were formed such as
Village Health Committees (VHC),Youth Groups and
SHGs. In this phase, Village Health Volunteers locally
called Saahiyaswere selected and TBAswere identified.
During the past year, 150 youth were selected and
trained on adolescent health. Trainings on anaemia, safe
delivery, and child care were given to Village Health
Committee (VHC) members, Saahiyas and TBAs. The
VHCs along with Saahiyas organized various events like
healthy baby competition and elocution competition
on issues of anaemia, HIV/AIDS,malaria, nutrition etc.
Village Health Kosh, a health fund generated by the
community, was formed in villages by some VHCs.
The funds collected were used for addressing health
problems in the village.
A total of 57 health camps were organized for 65
villages spread over 11 sub-centres. Vaccines, pills,
condoms and other medicines were procured from the
Government for the camps. The project staff attended
the block level monthly meetings of Government
functionaries and shared the health status report of the
project area.
A mid-term review was conducted with a
quantitative sample survey of women in the age group
of 15-49 years, who gave birth after June 2004. The
report revealed that 3 ANC coverage was 64%, 2 TT
coverage was 95%, 50% received IFA and its
consumption was 54%. Of the 596 women surveyed,
125 women were using modern contraceptive methods.
It was also found through the survey that the Saahiyas
had good knowledge on RH issues.
Enhancement of Health Status of Women, Children and
Adolescents through RCH LifeCycle Approach
This project is being implemented in association
with Manav Seva Sansthan (SEVA),Gorakhpur since
October 2004 in 53 villages of Jungle Kaudia block in

capacities of the project level stakeholders for improving
the quality of RCH services and ensuring its
sustainability, (ij)raise awareness and sensitize the target
community on RCH issues, increasing health seeking
behaviour through IEC/BCCactivities, and (iii)deliver
quality RCH services by adopting a life cycle approach.
Baseline survey was conducted during the initial phase
of the project. The survey revealed that the contraceptive
prevalence and complete immunization rate was low,
the prevalence of RTI/STIwas high, women receiving
skilled birth attendance during delivery and colostrum
feeding was low.
The project area has been divided in to 13 clusters
and each cluster has one Health Information and Service
Center (HISC).These centers are equipped with necessary
instruments and man powerfor primary health care and
counseling. The space for the centres has been provided
by the Panchayats. Doctors and nurses periodically visit
the centres. A user fee is also charged. Money collected
is utilized for the sustenance of these centers. Village
Volunteers in each village and Cluster Health Educator
(CHE)in each HISCmeet regularlyand counsel pregnant
and lactating women and adolescents in the area.
During the past year, effortswere made to establish
community based institutionsand women's groups. Fifty
three adolescents groups and 142 SHGs were formed in
the project area. Adolescent groups also took initiative
in addressing local issues pertaining to maternal and
neonatal health. These groups will help sustain the
benefits of the project.

GO-NGO networking, and (v) providing inputs to GOI
to enable policy modification/formulation for NGO
programmes. RRCs provide assistance and support to
the state NGO committee, Mother NGOs (MNGO),
Service NGOs (SNGO), Field NGOs (FNGO) and other
stakeholders in programme management and the RCH
technical interventions. The expected outcomes from
the RRC are:
. A network of institutions across the country
capable of providing high quality technical
assistance to a range of NGOs working to
improve RCH as per the goals of the National
. Population Policy, 2000
Closer linkage between the StateGovernments
and the MNGOs/SNGO at the stateand district
levels.
PFI staff at RRC participated at a meeting of an
expert group on National Commission on Population
in Bihar and provided inputs on developing the district
action plan. They also contributed to formulating the
Chhattisgarh Integrated Population and Health Policy.
Advocacy for formation and registration of District RCH/
Health Society in Bihar and Chhattisgarh were
undertaken with district officials and these were formed.
Three Best Practices Centres (BPCs)were identified in
Bihar.
The 2ndedition of the newsletter, Nai Kiran' was
brought out on the issue of institutional deliveries in
both English and Hindi and disseminated to all
stakeholders. An Accounts manual was also brought
out to support and serve as a guideline for NGOs.
An annual review of RRC activities was held at PFI
in February 2007, wherein both the state teams and
members of advisory group of PFIattended the meeting.
The Deputy Commissioner NGO division, Government
of India attended the review as a special guest and
provided inputs to enrich the programme. A tentative
plan of action was chalked out for the year 2007I -2008.
A review meet of NGO division and ARC with all RRCs
was held in Calcutta in March 2007.
PFI also organized a workshop on strategic
communication for RRC staff through trainers trained
by Spitfire Communications, which helped to capacitate
staff on effective communications.

RRC has also been requested by the state
Government to carry out field appraisal for 71 clinics
spread over 38 districts for their selection of SNGOs.
Rational Use of Drugs in RCH
Care
Fulfillmentof Reproductive and Child Health needs
of the communityhas beenat the core of PFIactivities
aimed at addressing larger population issues. Rational
Use of Drugs is a critical aspect of Reproductive and
Child Health Services among. Population Foundation
of India, New Delhi and Family Planning Association
of India, Mumbai joined hands to work on the project,
"InstitutingRational Use of Drugs (RUD)in Reproductive
and Child Health Care" which aims to institutionalize
RUD in the service delivery centres of FPAllocated in
27 branches of FPAI.The project wi IIcover 5 northern
and 5 southern clinics of FPA India.
The main objectives of the project are to (i) assess
the existing prescribing practices and drug store
management along with the availability of drugs, (ii)
train medical officers (MOs), branch managers,
storekeepers and paramedics in RUD in RCH, and (iii)
assess the impact of training and guidelines on
prescribing practices and drug costs. Expected outcomes
envisaged from the RUD project are that all the
participating branches of FPAIwill institutionalize RUD
in their clinics and FPAIbeing an RRC would help to
disseminate the knowledge to the network of MNGOs
and FNGOs.
Project activities were initiated in October 2006.
An assessment was done by FPAIfor 13 clinics to look
at procurement, which showed that all clinics were
locally purchasing drugs through local supplies as per
the requirements of their centres as decided by Medical
Officer. The procurement guidelines were collected. The
work on Standard Treatment Guidelines (STG) and
Essential Drug List(EDL)was completed.
Delhi Society for Promotion of Rational Use of
Drugs (DSPRUD) is providing technical support to the
project. The workshops for Medical Officers and
Storekeepers are planned forthe northern region at Delhi
in the month of April 2007.

ies and
The growing demand for result based management
is largely dependent on a strong and coherent
monitoring & evaluation system. Recognizing this, PFI
has instituted monitoring and evaluation systems in all
its projects right from the project formulation and
planning stage to execution of the projects. Additionally,
the foundation also undertakes independent research in
key areas to support programme and advocacy efforts in
population and development
issues including
reproductive and child health.
Research Studies
A Study of Demographic Transition in Andhra Pradesh:
Determinants and Consequences
Recentdemographic trends in Andhra Pradeshhave
drawn the attention of policy planners and programme
managers for two main reasons. Firstthe pace of fertility
transition in the state has been fairly rapid in recent
years despite slow progress in socio-economic
development. Second among the major states in India,
Andhra Pradesh recorded the lowest intercensal
population growth of 13.9 percent during 1991-2001.
Fertility has fallen without significant improvements in
Iiteracy levels of women, without decline in the incidence
of poverty or even as a response to infant and child
mortality decline. It is, therefore a puzzle as to why
fertility in Andhra Pradesh has fallen so rapidly in the
last decade.
Keeping this in view, PFI in collaboration with the
Gujarat Institute of Development Research,Ahmedabad
and the Academy for Nursing Studies, Hyderabad
initiated a study on Demographic Transition in Andhra
Pradesh: Determinants and Consequences. The main
goal of the study was to understand and analyze the
levels/trends in fertility and mortality in Andhra Pradesh
within the socio-political and developmental context
of the state. The specific objectives of the study were
to:
. Study socio-economic factors associated with
fall in fertility and mortality levels and trends
in Andhra Pradesh.
. Study the bio-demographic factors associated
with demographic transition in the state.
. Study the behavioural and cultural factors
associated with fall in fertility and mortality.
. Assess the influence of the health and family
welfare services on decline in fertility.
. Review the contribution of women's
empowerment processesto fertility decline and
. Review the socio-political mechanisms
initiated and implemented in the state and
assess their influence on demographic
transition.
Sampling Design and Sample
The study used both quantitative and qualitative
researchtools .The study covered randomly selected 120
villages in four districts of Andhra Pradesh, namely,
Kurnool, Nizamabad, Krishna and EastGodavari. A total
|
|
4.5 Page 35 |
▲back to top |
of 3577 households and 3306 women in the age group
of 15-49 years were covered.
The qualitative data was obtained from Focus Group
Discussions (FGDs) held with women and ANMs and
in-depth interviews with key stakeholders i.e managers
or Government officials and service providers (doctors
and nurses).
Key Findings
. The average size of the household was only
4.4 members, indicating widespread nucleation
of the family. The average age at marriage of
women was 16.4 years same as reported in
NFHS 2 (1998-99). The average number of
children born to women was 2.23, close to the
figure estimated by NFHS 2.
. Over all the data indicate that fertility has fallen
across region, regardless of educational status
of women or the social group of the household.
This homogenization has apparently occurred
due to the widespread acceptance of a
permanent contraceptive method.
. Along with fertility transition the state is also
undergoing changes in the marriage pattern as
observed in the increase in the proportion of
girls aged 15-19 and 20-24 remaining
unmarried.
. The study estimated the current contraceptive
use rateto be 67.4 percent. The method specific
data reveal that all most all ofthe increase has
been in female sterilization.
. The average age of women at the time of
acceptance of sterilization was 23.6 years,
clearly indicating that the active reproductive
span of rural Andhra women hasbeen reduced
to just about 7 years
. Breastfeeding for the duration of 10 months
seems to have helped increase the Inter-birth
interval to some extent.
Some important cultural and socio-economic factors
influencing fertility both at the macro and micro level
observed in the study are as follows.
. Socio-economic development: At the macro
level the role of the state in improving the
economic status of the household through
various poverty alleviating and women's
empowerment programmes contributing to
the changing behavioral patterns were
observed.
. Highest level of commitment: Political
commitment for population stabilization
reiterated at all levels and documents and
programmes.
. Spread of media and communication
networks, including television played
important role in influencing and changing
the aspirations about children.
. Active role of field functionaries and service
providers in promoting sterilization.
. Incentives and disincentives in promoting
family planning.
. Poverty and Aspirations: Increasing cost of
education, rising dowry rates and increasing
cost of health care, particularly child birth. 50
percent respondents desired to educate their
children as much as they wanted and for 70%
financial constraint was the main obstacle for
having more children.
The study has found many consequences of the
demographic transition. Key consequences are:
deterioration of primary health care services, single
point emphasis on sterilization at periphery, stagnation
of maternal and new born health services, compromise
on quality of care etc.
Conclusion:Andhra Pradesh's fertility decline took
place within a specific socio-political and
organizational context. Effectivestate-sponsored family
planning programme pursued by Andhra Pradesh does
appear attractive in the short run and indeed propagated
as worth emulating, especially in the backward states
of the country. However, the decision to vigorously
promote fami Iy planni ng or female steri Iization would
have to take into account the comparable situation of
levels of literacy, incomes, and large proportion of

population living in rural areas, the soCial structures
including women's autonomy, son preference and
prevailing caste-basedequations within each state.
Endline Evaluations
Adolescent Initiatives in Uttaranchal
The Population Foundation of India implemented
a project for adolescents in association with Himalayan
Institute of Hospital Trust (HIHn which was evaluated
at the end of the project period in 2006. The research
design of the study was quasi experimental in nature
(experimental-control design). The project was launched
in six selected blocks of which three were intervention
blocks (Sahaspur,Jaspurand Ramgarh)and the remaining
three were control blocks(Vikas Nagar, Kashipur and
Bheemtal) spread across three districts; Dehradun,
Udhamsingh Nagar and Nainital in the state of
Uttaranchal. The project covered approximately 30420
adolescents (14-20 years)both boys and girls irrespective
of thei r marital status.The main objectives of the project
were;
./ To improve the knowledge, attitude and
practices regarding general health, hygiene and
reproductive health.
./ To improve the TT immunization statusamong
adolescents.
./ To reduce prevalence of anemia and RTI & STI
among adolescents.
./ To improvethe reproductivehealthof married
adolescents (Contraceptive prevalence, to delay
pregnancy, ANC care, safe deliveries etc.)
./ To enhance and assistin the careerdevelopment
of adolescents.
The end line eval uation of the project was carried
out to assessthe programme performance and overall
impact of the project on the adolescent population. Both
quantitative and qualitative techniques were used in
the process of end line evaluation. The key findings,
promising practices, lessons learned and
recommendations of the project are as follows;
Key Findings:
. A significant change (21 %) was noticed in
the level of awareness about balanced diet in
the intervention area. While comparing results
of both intervention and control area, a change
of 10 % was found.
. Knowledge on consequences of early pregnancy
in the intervention area had shown a significant
improvement from baseline to end line (65 %
to 90 %).
. Knowledge on contraceptive methods had
significantly increased (48% to 84%) -an
increase of 36% in the intervention area. The
change was more noticeable among females
(38% increase).
. Adolescents having at least one symptom of
anaemia had shown a reduction of 9 percent
(47%-38%) in the intervention area.
. The knowledge on HIV/AIDS had increased
by 26 percent (68% to 94%).
. The career needs and educational aspirations
of the adolescents, especially among girls, got
more focused and concretized due to successful
organization of career fairs and counselling.
. Under the project clinical services were
delivered to adolescents through health fairs at
village level. Health fairs served the purpose of
both awarenessgeneration and service delivery.
. A radio programme called Pehal that dealt with
adolescent issues and concerns was developed
in house. It was broadcast in 6 episodes and
the reach was not just limited to Uttaranchal
but also extended to other states as evident from
the feedback letters received.
. A series of 26 audio cassettesnamed Dehleez
developed by PFIon various adolescent issues
were used. But the response to this p~ogram
was not very high due to lack of mobilization
of adolescents.
. An anthem developed in-house has been
effective as recall of the anthem was found to
be high among good number of adolescents.
|
|
4.7 Page 37 |
▲back to top |
. Overall, most of the activiti~s under the project
were conducted in a planned and strategic way
to reach adolescents with an efficient
monitoring mechanism.
Promising Practices:
. Career fairs had a catalytic effect in bringing
and binding adolescents to the core activities
of the Pehal Programme.
. Cluster meetings were an important innovative
strategy through which rapport was establ ished
with the community and different stakeholders.
. Various print materials like Kastoori, Aao Jaane
aur Samjhe etc. developed to disseminate
information in the project area were in high
demand.
. Nukkad Nataks helped in bringing various
unattended socio-cultural themes to the fore.
. Organization of health fairs helped in generating
demand from the community. Both NGO and
the Government agencies actively contributed
in such health fairs thereby contributing to the
success of these fai rs.
.LessonsLearned and Recommendations:
School teachers could be trained as master
trainers and given the responsibility of training
the students.
. All the stakeholders like medical staff of PHCs!
CHCs, Counselors, Government officials
should have also been oriented on adolescent
issues. This would have helped in better
coordination and desired support for the
programme.
. Preparation of career directory is a very good
practice and should be made available to the
adolescents at school and college levels.
. Pehal has shown success in terms of
development of IEC materials and organizing
various types of BCC activities. These IEC
materials, including the training kit can be used
for other adolescent programs.
Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust
(HIHT)- Dissemination workshop
A Dissemination Workshop for the project
"Adolescent Initiatives in Uttaranchal (AIU)" was

Training Providers, Benchmarking Services and
DeliveringFamilyPlanning Servicesthrough Public,
Privateand NGO Sectors in Bihar
The Population Foundation of India implemented
the project in association with jANANI, Patna, Bihar
in the three districts namely; Purnea, Gaya and Motihari
(EastChamparan). The project, implemented over three
years, commenced in the month of March 2003. During
the project period, 3 Surya clinics were established in
the district head quarters of three project districts to
increase accessto reproductive choices, particularly for
women, in areas where Government family planning
programmes were inadequate or non-existent and where
couples lacked accessto good quality contraceptive and
reproductive health services.
The main objectives of the project were:
./ To create easily accessible training facilities for
doctors and ANMs from the NGOs, private
and public sector in 3 districts of Bihar.
./ To make available the entire range of family
planning services with optimum levels of cost
efficiency, especially to the poor and the most
vulnerable.
./ To benchmark and promote quality of care
An end line evaluation was carried out to assess
the demographic impact of contraceptive services and
quality of services provided. Both qualitative and
quantitative techniques were used in the process of end
line evaluation.
Key Findings:
./ The network of Titl i Centres and the campaign
through hoardings /advertisements and other
communication materials promoted by Janani
were good source of awareness about the Surya
clinic in the catchment area of the clinics.
./ Quality of Care: The clinics maintained all
prescribed protocols in providing services to
its clients. Informed choice related to
contraception was available to the beneficiaries
and services were provided only after the
consent of the client.
./ Although most of the beneficiaries stated that
their spouse motivated them to adopt the
family planning methods, the Titli centre had
also played a role in motivating the beneficiaries
to adopt some of the family planning methods.
./ Clients exhibited a significant level of
satisfaction (more than75 %) on the cost of the
services at Surya clinic, on cleanliness and
behaviour of the staff. However it was also
found that the Surya Clinic could not handle
the crowd during the camp days, as more
cIients usedto come for taking the free services.
|

4.9 Page 39 |
▲back to top |
./ Demographic Impact: About :22000 bi rths were
averted due to all the family planning services/
methods provided by janani in the project area
during the project period. As expected the major
contribution came from female ligation.
./ Training: Although janani proposed to use the
established clinics as training centres, this was
not achieved as these Surya clinics did not get
recognition from the Government as registered
MTP Centres.
./ The training imparted to providers of Titli and
Super Titli centres had yielded satisfactory
results. It was seen that most of the female
Iigation beneficiaries those who had developed
post-operative complications were treated by
the RHPs of Titli and Super Titli centres. Most
importantly it was found that in most of the
casesthe complications were resolved.
Strengths & Weakness:
./ janani had provided qualitative services at a
cost affordable by the clients using its previous
experience in social marketing. Extensive
advertising campaigns on the servicesavailable
and the wide network of Titli and super Titli
centres can be seen as major strength for the
success of the project in the project districts.
./ Compl iance to the protocols of the Government
of India in providing the services also added to
the successof the programme.
./ The deployment of trained staff and their
subsequent orientation through the Surya clinics
assured quality of services provided.
./ One of the major constraints the project faced
was the availability of doctors for the clinic.
In Motihari Surya clinic there was no lady
doctor. In the other two Surya clinics although
a lady doctor was available most of the ti"1e,
during their absence it was sometimes difficult
for janan i to arrange another consu Itant doctor.
Recommendations:
The study indicates that there is considerable scope
to increase the demographic impact of the services by
taking the following steps:
./ Female ligation services were being utilized by
rural based poor and illiterate communities.
Attempts shou Id be made to cover other sections
of the society.
./ One of the important reasonsextended by those
coming for MTP and Depo-Provera was
contraceptive failure. To improve the efficiency
of the methods, method specific counselling!
education should be given to the prospective
users.
./ More orientation to the RMP ofTitli and Super
Titli Centres should be made so as to identify
problems and refer them to the Surya clinics
rather than treating them.
./ Most of the Titl i Centres and Super Titl i Centres
should be motivated to do door to door
campaign on family planning measures.
./ Postoperative care should be strengthened. The
problem of mobility mentioned by several
beneficiaries should be duly noted by janani.
Mobile clinics could be tried out; follow up
visits to the homes of beneficiaries should be
planned.

PFI has identified advocacy as a central feature of
its agenda. Given the major change in approach that
ICPD and the NPP 2000 entailed, it was clear that
there is a need to change mindsets at all levels, from
senior policy makers, politicians, programme
implementers to the general population. The population
field has been required, perhaps for the first time, to
shift away from a Malthusian or neo-Malthusian
preoccupation with controlling population numbers to
.meeting the reproductive and sexual health and rights
of people. Some key issues identified for advocacy at
the national and state levels are (i) campaign against
sexselection and pre-birth elimination of females (PBEF),
(ij) campaign against two-child norm, (iii) improving
Quality of Care in family planning and (iv) generating
awareness in adolescent reproductive and sexual health.
Advocacy initiatives of PFI also include state,
regional and national level conferences at regular
intervals to highlight concerns of the specific area or
extract lessons from successful initiatives for other
areas. Another facet of advocacy that PFI works on is
building networks, alliances, and coalitions to promote
advocacy around key issues.

in their respective states. There was a separate session
on HIV/AIDS, where the State AIDS Control Societies
from the four states and the PFI, New Delhi made their
presentations.
A wall chart and publication on 'Population, Health
and Social Development - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,
Kerala and Tamil Nadu.', which includes state and
district profiles of all four states was released by the
Chief Guest, Smt. Panabaaka Lakshmi.
Critical issuesemerging from the presentations over
the two days were deliberated at the panel discussion.
The conference concluded with a plea to identify areas
of priority to move forward and be innovative in our
approach.
The concluding session included a panel
discussion on the 'Lessons Learned and Way Forward'
based on the experiences of the four southern states.
The discussion of the conference was summed up and
the following key recommendations emerged out of the
del iberations:
. There is a need to unravel the positive and
negative consequences of fertility decline.
. The middle age group is bulging and there is
a need to train and upgrade their skills
appropriate to development.
. Health transition is well on its way but is still
a worrisome issue in this country since we
haven't been able to eliminate communicable
diseases.
. Quality of health care/maternal care needs
improvement. The woman disappearsfrom the
radar of the health personnel after steril ization
or child birth, when we know that 60%
maternal deathsoccur in the post partum period.
. In Family Planning- sterilization is the main
method in all four southern states. There is
need to promote use of spacing methods
especially condoms.
. There is need to bring Reproductive Health (RH)
and HIV/AIDS together. RH needs do exist for
an HIV + ve woman but they are not addressed.
Some of the vulnerable groups such as sterilized
women and newly married women need special
attention.
World Population Day 2006
The theme of the World Population Day, July 11,
2006 was "Young People." PFI as part of the Alliance
of "Young People: Towards a Healthy Future" supported
organization of an "Interactive Dialogue on Voices of
Young People" in association with CHETNA to create
an opportunity for young people to share their
experiences. Around 25 young people and more than
50 representatives from Government and non-
Governmental organizations were present on the
occasion.
Young representatives from Gujarat, Rajasthan,
Bihar, Jharkhand and New Delhi shared their concerns
and deliberated on efforts and strategies that could be
adopted by the Government to improve young people's
sexual and reproductive health. They also suggested
strategiesto combat HIV/AIDS,which could be included
in the National AIDS Control Programme, Phase III
(NACP-III).
Community Radio
The Population Foundation of In cpa has
implemented community radio programmes since the
year 2000. PFIhassuccessfully launched and completed
community radio programmes in the statesof Karnataka,
Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Bihar,
Chhattisgarh and Orissa. During the period under report,
the PFIrepeated the broadcast of one of the community

radio interventions in the stateof Orissa in collaboration
with Agragamee,a local non-Governmental organization
in Rayagadadistrict, Orissa. The main objective of this
intervention was to empower the community on various
issuesof population, health and social development.
The community radio programme titled, Ujala was
implemented in the six backward and tribal districts,
namely, Koraput, Malkangiri, Rayagada, Kalahandi,
Nuapada and Naharangpur of south Orissa. 52 scripts
on population and other related issueswere generated
'in Desia - dialect (a common tribal dialect) for the
programme, which were broadcast by AIR Jeypore,
Orissa. The programme went on air through the popular
programme, Chaiti }anha. The PFI along with
Agragamee formed a network of 30 NGOs who formed
more than 200 listener's clubs in their respective project
areas. PFI distributed free radio setsto the clubs. The
first phase of 52 episodes came to an end in November
2005.
Encouraged by the response from listeners, the
broadcast was repeated from November 2005. Efforts
were made to strengthen the existing clubs and form
new clubs. The last episode of the repeat broadcast
went on air in November 2006. The response of the
programme from the listeners through letters and phone
calls was encouraging.
Advocacy on Young Adults'
Reproductive and Sexual Health
(YARSH)
The project Advocacy on Young Adults'
Reproductive and Sexual Health issues in Bihar and
Jharkhand was undertaken by PFIwith support from the
David and Lucile PackardFoundation in December 2003
for a period of three years. The aim of the project was
to build a supportive environment for population
stabilization by meeting reproductive and sexual health
needs of young adults.
This advocacy initiative was implemented in two
districts each of Bihar (Gaya and Vaishali) and Jharkhand
(Ranchi and Hazaribagh). The main objectives of the
project were to (i) orient Government stakeholders,
(politicians, bureaucrats, public-private health care
providers, and PRls), towards meeting Young Adults'
Reproductive and Sexual Health (YARSH) needs, (ii)
prepare district plans of action on YARSH services based
on district level interventions and recommend to state
Governmentthatthese be incorporated in the stateyouth
policies, and (iii) document and disseminate the lessons
learned.
The project came to an end in December 2006. PFI
successfully implemented the project in both Bihar and
Jharkhand and achieved the following significant
outcomes:
In the pilot districts PFI adopted a bottom up
approach and conducted block level workshops in all
blocks of the pilot districts. There was high participation
in all the block level workshops. Participants included
community representatives,parents, local leaders,young
people, teachers, young men and women. Based on
the recommendations of the block level workshops,
districts workshops were held in the pilot districts

primarily to engage the local Government and line
department officials in a proactive manner. After the
district level workshops, the lessons, suggestions and
recommendations formed the basis for the District
Action Plans (DAP) for all the 4 pilot districts in Bihar
and Jharkhand and were shared with the Government.
PFIalso developed an advocacy kit on young adults'
sexual and reproductive health issuesfor Jharkhand and
Bihar. The kit was well received by all stakeholders
especially young men and women who felt that such an
informative document was extremely useful in providing
correct and necessary information on key issues.
The most significant outcome of the project was
that PFIwas recognized by the Government of Jharkhand
and Government of Bihar asa technical agencyto provide
inputs on youth issues. During the past one and half
years, PFIhel ped faci Iitate the development of the draft
Jharkhand Youth Policy and initiate a dialogue on the
draft Bihar Youth Policy.
Advocacy for Perspective Building
on ICPD and NPP 2000
This two-year project was undertaken by PFIwith
support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
The project aimed at perspective building on critical
issues in population, reproductive health and
reproductive rights among key stakeholders towards
influencing policies and programmes. The project was
implemented in Bihar and Jharkhand and at the national
level.
The project included advocacy initiatives with states
and other stakeholders consisting of Judiciary, Media,
Bureaucrats, Elected representatives, Corporates and
NGOs for a sustained implementation of ICPD
programme of action and National Population Policy
2000. PFI successfully implemented this project by
collaborating with the above diverse set of partners. The
project came to an end in December 2006. The
following were the significant outcomes of the project:
State Level Seminar
As part of the advocacy initiatives with elected
representatives, PFI in collaboration with the Bihar
Legislative Assembly successfully conducted a one-day
seminar on health, population and social development
on 5thAugust, 2006 at Bihar Vidhan Sabha, Annexe.
This was a first of its kind seminar on health and
population issuesundertaken by the Bihar Legislature.
The seminar was inaugurated by Shri Nitish Kumar, Chief
Minister of Bihar and presided over by Shri Uday Narayan
Choudhary, Speaker, Bihar State Assembly. Over 130
Members of the Bihar Legislative Assembly were present
at the seminar including Shri Chandramohan Rai, Health
Minister, Shri Ramchander Purvey, Chief Whip of the
Opposition (RJD) and other ministers and senior
Government officials. A Forum of Bihar State Legislators
on Population, Health and Social Development was
formed and a resolution was passed. The programme
was covered extensively by both the print and electronic
media. The specific objectives of the seminar were to
sensitize the legislators on linkages between health,
population and social development with special reference
to Bihar.
District Level Seminar and Open Session
The above state level seminar was followed by the
district level advocacy seminar on Health, Population
and Social Development, which was held on 4th
November 2006 at Kishanganj in collaboration with
the Bihar Legislative Forum. Mr Uday Narayan
Choudhary, Hon'ble Speaker of the Bihar Legislative
Assembly, inaugurated the seminar. There were almost
1000 participants comprising elected PRIrepresentatives
from the Gram Panchayat to the district level health
functionaries and representatives from the Government
of Bihar. Female elected members of the Panchayats of
Kishanganj were present in large numbers. The open

sessionof the seminar was held in the afternoon of the
sameday at which the health functionaries of the districts
also joined along with the elected PRI representatives
from all the villages. Almost 5000 participants registered
for the open session. It was for the first time that the
Bihar Legislative Forum had organized a seminar at the
district level with active participation of MLAs of
Kishanganj from all parties and the district
administration. The document titled "Kishanganj:
Population and Health Profile" containing detailed
information on the health and population status of
Kishanganj district and all the blocks, prepared for the
seminar in English, Hindi and Urdu marked a first as
well.

was preceded by a national level workshop on the role
of media and reportage of health in partnership with
Press Institute of India.
Advocacy with Corporates
Under advocacy with corporate sector, the GIVE
Foundation, Mumbai completed the study titled
'Investing in Young People's Health: Issues and
Opportunities.' PFI identified Confederation of Indian
Industries (01) as a partner organization in undertaking
workshops with Corporates. Corporate meetings were
organized in Delhi and Mumbai by CII and in
Jamshedpur by Tata Steel Family Initiative Foundation.
Overall the advocacy programme of the past two
years helped create opportunities for debate on
population and health issues, encourage and involve
NGOs, Government officials and media representative
fortraining on the issues. Italso provided an opportunity
for partnering with diverse set of partners, which included
NGOs and Government agencies.
Advocacy on Rights Based
Population and Family Planning/RH
Issues
PFIhas undertaken this project inJanuary 2007 with
supportfrom the David and Lucile Packard Foundation
with a goal to facilitate formulation and implementation
of rights based policies and programmes on population
and family planning/reproductive health, with a focus
on young people. This three year project will be
implemented in Biharand Jharkhand and at the national
level.
The main objectives of the project are to (i)support
and sustain advocacy at the national and state level (in
Bihar and Jharkhand) by further building capacities of
institutional partners, (ii)ensure better delivery of family
planning/reproductive health services in underserved
areas like Bihar and Jharkhand through monitoring of
the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and
Reproductive and Child Health programme (RCH-Phase
11)a,nd (iii)strengthen regional advocacy for supportive
policyand programmeson sexualand reproductive health
through technical assistance.
The main strategies of the project would be (i)
orientation programmes on population and family
planning/reproductive health with faculty of training
institutesand representatives from departments of health,
education and social welfare; state civil service officers
and district programme managers in Biharand Jharkhand,
(ii) training on population and family planning/
reproductive health for district panchayat leaders and
block level Panchayati Raj functionaries in selected
districts of Bihar and Jharkhand, and (iii) developing
and disseminating relevant rights based information on
population, family planning/reproductive health issues
for, High Court and Supreme Court judges, elected
representatives of parliament and state assemblies and
Government officials.
Programme planning activitieshave been undertaken
and the Foundation is currently in the process of
beginning some of the key activities under this
programme.
Advocacy and Communication
Programme under MOHFW/
UNFPA's Country Programme-6
With an objective to transform "Advocacy into
Action", the Foundation has undertaken this project with
support from UNFPNGol in continuation ofthe phase
I activities of the project implemented in Punjab and
Haryana on Missing Girls. In the second phase, the
Foundation continued the activities started on Missing
Girls in Punjab (Fatehgarh Sahib and Patiala districts)
and Haryana (Kurukshetra and Ambala districts), and
took on two new districts, namely, Solan and Sirmour
in Himachal Pradesh. In addition, the project included
an intervention on quality of care on RCH issues in
Gaya and Vaishali districts of Bihar. The second phase
activities started from ApriI 2006.
Missing Girls
With the co-ordination of Voluntary Health
Association Punjab and SUTRA,Himachal Pradesh, 40
villages with the lowest child sex ratio in twp districts
each of Punjab and Haryana and 24 block gram
panchayats in two districts of Himachal Pradesh were
identified to work extensively on the issue of Missing
Girls. A fact finding study on Missing Girls was carried
out by a five-member independent team at Patran in
Patiala district. Committees of village influentials have

The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), a
Quality of Care
With the coordination of Bihar Voluntary Health
Association (BVHA), an NGO partners meeting was
Government of India initiative was launched on April
12, 2005. NRHM focuses on enhancing the access of
rural population to safe, rational, effective, affordable
and quality health services in the eight EAG states, the
eight north eastern states,Himachal Pradeshand Jammu
and Kashmir. The guiding principles as laid down in
the implementation framework of the Mission are to
promote equity, access, efficiency, quality and
accountability, decentralize and involve local bodies,
recognize the value of our traditional knowledge base,
promote innovations, methods and processdevelopment
and enhance a people oriented and community based
approach.
One of the key changes that the NRHM aims to
bring about in the monitoring framework is to involve
communities in planning and monitoring programmes
with a framework that allows them to assessprogress
against certain benchmarks. According to the Timeline
of Implementation proposed in the Framework of
|

Implementation,the systemof communitymonitoring
is to be implemented to the extent of 50% by 2007.
Communities together with community based
organizations are to monitor demand/need, coverage,
access, quality, effectiveness, behaviour and presence
of health care personnel at service points, possible denial
of care and negligence. The monitoring process includes
outreach services, public health facilities and the referral
system.
In order to operationalise community action with
the framework of implementation of NRHM,an Advisory
Group on Community Action (AGCA)for NRHM was
formed. PFIfunctions as the Secretariat for the AGCA.
Quarterly meetings of the AGCA are conducted to
discuss the progress made so far and the further course
of action.
In order to further the objectives of ensuring
community monitoring processes in NRHM, the Union
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has approved
the pilot project for Community Monitoring of Health
Servicesunder NRHMin March 2007 to be implemented
in 9 states of Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan,
Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu &
Karnataka for a period one year. PFI is the National
Secretariat forthis pilot programme with active advisory
support from the AGCA and the NRHM Mission
Directorate Government of India. Centre for Health and
Social Justice in New Delhi has been identified to co-
support the national secretariat activities.
The programme covers a total of 30 districts in 8
states. In each of these districts, three blocks will be
covered and within each block 3 PHCs will be covered
and within each PHC area, 5 villages will be covered.
This will lead to a total of 1350 villages, 270 PHCs and
90 blocks being covered for Community Monitoring
programme.
The entire process of Community Monitoring will
be implemented as a partnership between the State
Health Department and the civil society organizations.
The civil society organizations will have three kinds of
roles - (a)as members of monitoring committees, (b) as
resource groups for capacity building of monitoring
committees and (c)as facilitating agencies assisting the
process of setting up the monitoring committees and
for the collection of information. The entire process
wi II be supervised at the national level by the AGCA
and at the State level by a joint State Community
Monitoring Mentoring Group to be set up specifically
for th is purpose. AGCA wi IIplay the role of faciIitation
and support to the entire process, working with the
mentoring teams and organizations at the state level.
PFIis currently in the process of initiating dialogue
with the state Governments of the pilot states and civil
society organizations. The Foundation with technical
support from experts in the field is in the process of
developing the various programme guidelines and
training modules for the innovative initiative.
4th Asia Pacific Conference on Reproductive and
Sexual Health and Rights
29THto 31sTOctober, 2007; Hyderabad,lndia
The Asia Pacific Conference on Reproductive and Sexual Health (APCRSH)is organized every alternate year through a consortium
of organizations working on the issue of Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights. Three such conferences have been held in
the past in Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia. India is hosting the 4thAPCRSH at Hyderabad from the 29th- 31st!October 2007.
PFI, as a member of the Consortium, is playing an active role in organizing the Conference. Mr. A.R. Nanda, Executive Director,
PFI is the Chairperson of the International Steering Committee as well as Chairperson for the India Organizing Committee. The
conference is planned at a large scale with more than 1200 delegates from around 50 countries expected. The conference aims
to develop new strategies for future research and programming on the subject. Itwill also enhance understanding of the importance
of rights-based programmes on such sensitive issues in the Asia Pacific region. There will be special focus on young people and
adolescents.

Global and national experience shows that in the
field of reproductive health there are many models or
innovations that have potential to impact at a larger
scale - both geographically and to larger populations.
That this has not happened is largely the result of a lack
of understanding of the processes required to scale up
the models into larger health systems, public, NGO or
private. In 2006, MacArthur Foundation in India
awarded a two year grant to the Population Foundation
of India (PFI) to establish a center for scaling up. The
grant included technical support to PFI from
Management SystemsInternational a MacArthur grantee,
which has developed a Scaling-Up Management
Framework. This Three-Step-Ten-Taskframework, which
is a set of tools and techniques to facilitate scaling up,
was tested inN igeria and Mexico. The objective of the
India initiative is to support and build capacity of PFI
to facilitate scaling up of models in the areas of maternal
mortality reduction and Young People's Sexual and
Reproductive Health.

Home based newborn care (HBNC)model of
SEARCH,Gadchiroli involves community based
female health workers who provide newborn care
and use emergency survival techniques for
managing asphyxia and sepsis. This intervention,
which resulted in over 60% reduction in neonatal
mortality, was published in Lancet, subsequently
demonstrated in 7 districts in Maharashtra (Ankur
Project) and is being implemented under as-site
multi-centric study through ICMR.InAugust 2006,
PFI, SEARCHand ICMR, organized a one- day
dissemination workshop on HBNC.Thisworkshop
and meetings with key policy makers and
influencers in India resulted in a national
commitmentto include home based newborn care
to reduce neonatal mortality through HBNC,
evidenced in new initiativeslike the Norway India
Partnership Initiative and the Eleventh Five Years
Plan Approach Paper. MSIand PFI have worked
very closely with SEARCHnot only to strategize
and implement scaling up HBNC but also to
develop a plan for training 100,000 community
health workers of Government of India to deliver
home-based newborn care services.
The advent of National Rural Health Mission
(NRHM) and the release of findings from studies like
National Family Health Survey and Sample Registration
System have opened new avenues for pursuing scaling
up with the Indian Government.
Management Systems International (MSI),a United
States based MacArthur Grantee and originator of the
Scaling-Up Management Framework, provides PFIwith
technical support to facilitate scaling-up, and build
. capacities within PFI. PFI, on its part, is expected to
facilitate documentation, advocacy, networking and
constituency building around the identified model at
the state and national levels. As part of a two years
plan, PFIis being developed as a centre for scaling up
pilot initiatives in India.
IHMP (Institute of Health Management Pachod)
implemented a program, called Safe Adolescence
Transitions in Health Initiatives (SATHI), for married
adolescent girls, which aimed to demonstrate a set
of interventions thatwill result in increase in age of
first conception, improve access to and. use of spacing
methods among young women, reduce anemia and,
consequently, reduce high risk pregnancies and unsafe
deliveries. Strong surveillance (a key component of
NRHM)and community audit through village health
committees (another key component of NRHM)were
the key processes within the interventions. As result
ofMSI~PFIstrategic planning exercises and as part of
acomprehensive national and state level plan, IHMP
undertook initiatives to demonstrate results of the
model in other tribal districts. IHMP along with the
Directorate of Health Services, Government of
Maharashtra, is implementing a statewide social
assessment study among married adolescents. On
basis of the study results, the Govt. of Maharashtra
wiUinitiatea lO.districts Randomized Control Trial
(RCT)withpublic healthsystemsto test the efficacy
ofthe SATHImodel. ThisRCThas an agreement-in-
ICMRfor technical oversight.
PFIiscurrently working with MSIto scale-up selected
models, like the home based newborn care (SEARCH),
improving reproductive health of married adolescent
girls (lHMP), incentive based regular immunization
camps, iron fortification of wheat flour and voucher
schemes to promote safe delivery (Seva Mandir),
community based health insurance (SEWA),emergency
obstetric care training (FOGSI), strengthening village
infrastructure to improve access to primary health care
(Escorts Health Institute and Research Center). MSIled
the first leg of visioning and strategizing exercise with
SEARCH, IHMP, Seva Mandir, SEWA, FOGSI, ARTH
and the EHIRC where PFI participated as learners.
Subsequently, PFI initiated scalability assessment and
strategizing exercises with some of its grantees, like
Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust, Sukarya and Smile
Foundation, and Bhavishya Alliance, a Government-
Civil Society-Corporate partnership that is developing
and implementing an innovation to reduce !child
malnutrition. Of all these interventions, MSI and PFI
worked more rigorously with SEARCH's home.based
newborn care, IHMP's married adolescent girls'
intervention, Seva Mandir's incentive based regular
immunization camps and ARTH's improving access to
safe delivery through skilled birth attendants.

Seva Mandir piloted a model to universalize
immunization amongst tribalpopulation, wherein
Graduate Nurse Midwives (GNMs) provided
immunization on a regular cyclical basis, a fixed
date and a fixed place every cycle, in every
intervention hamlet. Conditional transfers, in form
of nutritional feed (like lentils) and utensils
resulted in 17 fold increase in complete
immunization. PFI and MSI are working closely
with Seva Mandir, aiding them in strategizing the
scaling-up, developing linkages with stakeholders
at national and state levels. One of the major
challenges that this model faces isthe moral stand
that many stakeholders have on incentives and
conditional transfer of resources.
To build a larger constituency around scaling-up,
PFI also established a multi-stakeholder forum (MSF)
on scaling up model interventions in the area of
population and reproductive health. The forurl),
comprising of NGOs, the Government, the private sector,
donors and individual experts, met for the first time in
August 2006, wherein the MSIScaling-Up Management
Framework and its application was shared. The MSF
met for the second time in November 2006, where the
theme was "Innovative Interventions on Adolescent
Health". During this meeting, three Indian NGOs -
MAMTA, ClNI and ANS - presented their interventions
with adolescent community. Although all members of
MSFacknowledge the value and necessity of scaling-up
evidence-based successful interventions, very few
understand the finer details of the processes that take
interventions to scale.
During this year, PFI also invested in building
capacity of its Scaling Up team. Members of the scaling
up team were sent for a 7-days training on 'Evaluation
of Social Programs', which was conducted by Poverty
Action Lab and Massachusetts Institute of Technology
at Chennai, and another 15-daysglobal training program
on 'Millennium Development Goals: Poverty Reduction,
Reproductive Health and Health Systems Reforms',
which the World Bank Institute organized at Bangkok.
ARTH has arnodelfor providing safe delivery
.mdtnaternal health services through skill birth
attendants. These servicesare provided in the com-
munity and at static clinics. ARTH is now explor~
ing means to develop thts as a social franchising
tDodeL MSI and PFI met with ARTHin Udaipur
in Augl.JstandDecember 2006 to develop an ini-
tiaJ understanding of thernodel and further faciIi-
tate develoPtDeptof a roll~ol.Jptlan. Subsequently,
PF1Undertook a costing study for their clinical
services, the results of which will feed into the
sociaf.franchise design.
As a scaling-up intermediary, PFIunderwent a steep
learning curve during the first year of its work. From
winning the confidence among the originating
organizations for itselfas an intermediary to their scaling-
up efforts, to encouraging documentation among the
NGOs, to managing the scaling-up in fast changing
political and policy landscape, every action was replete
with lessons. Some of the key avenues for further
improvement in PFIinclude those in evidence-gathering
and analysis of competing evidence, documentation of
interventions and processes, and harmonizing the
attributes of the pilot interventions with the existing
systems of adopting organizations. It was evident from
some cases that political compulsions override evidence
and that pose a challenge to scaling-up for impact. New
initiatives like micro-planning of health initiatives at
village levels and decentralization in health systems offer
new opportunities. Absence of accountability, poor
governance and resource constraint (human and
technical) within public health systems are not just
challenges but also opportunities. The action plan of
PFIfor the next year and beyond will focus on converting
these challenges and opportunities to avenues for scaling-
up.
PFI, along with MSI, undertook an assessment of
the model on community based health insurance
- VimoSfWA for going to scale. MSI-PFIconducted
I
several sessions with VimoSEWA team to help
them understand the challenges to their model
and identify solutions. MSI-PFIcone! uded that the
model has to work on financial viability and
sustainability before going to scale.

(ACT)
A key element in the campaign against HIV is the
treatment of HIV-positive persons. Anti-retroviral
Treatment (ART) greatly improves the quality of life
for HIV-positive people, extends their life span and
helps to remove the stigma against them when it is
seen that they can live normal lives. National AIDS
Control Programme (NACP)-III seeks to implement the
principle of a continuum of care. Accordingly,
prevention will go hand in hand with access to
. prophylaxis, managementof opportunistic infections
and ART. ART is a complex treatment process that must
be continuously maintained. The programme must
also overcome logistical difficulties in delivering
services. The focus is assuring universal access to first
line ARVdrugs in the first instance. Providing psycho-
social support, counseling through strong outreach
services, referrals, palliative care and home based care
are an integral part of country's strategy.
The Global Fund Round 4 program is a public -
private sector partnership where the National AIDS
Control Organization (NACO) provides free
Antiretroviral Treatment (ART) at the public health
facilities. The Population Foundation of India led NGO/
private sector consortium provides care &support and
