10 Layering Health Interventions The layering of health interventions and services in UP is especially critical considering the disproportionate number of neonatal and maternal deaths and malnutrition. This is compounded by poverty and constant financial burdens, leaving families helpless in the face of health emergencies. Regressive health practices and insufficient public health infrastructure further exacerbate the situation. In this regard, RGMVP operates as a strategic mechanism to connect the demand-supply bridge. Communities are seen not merely as recipients of care, but as powerful and informed health seekers, capable of demanding quality health services and improved access. RGMVP Expansion Map RGMVP has consistently expanded its outreach since its inception. As of December 2016, the project spans across 49 districts, including complete coverage of Bundelkund, the most underdeveloped region in the state. 2006 2011 2016 3 33 49 DISTRICTS DISTRICTS DISTRICTS Cumulative SHG Formation Progress Social Coverage 1 5 000 0 120 000 900 0 0 66,790 88,806 110,824 130,167+ 1.3% OTHER 41.8% 8.3% OTHER BACKWARD CASTE GENERAL 6.2% MINORITY 600 0 0 37,217 3 0 000 0 *As of Dec 2016; Source: RGMVP MIS 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 40.8% SCHEDULED CASTE 1.7% SCHEDULED TRIBE
11 UPCM – THE PROJECT Project Goal: To improve Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal and Child health by strengthening the management of behavior change through women’s social platforms Project Objectives: 1. To increase adoption of evidence-based, high impact family health behaviors through SHGs to reach the poor 2. To scale up evidence-based, high impact health behaviors and effective strategies to improve access to health services The Uttar Pradesh Community Mobilization Project (UPCMP) was launched as a four-year initiative (2012-2016) to further RGMVP’s commitment to improve health conditions among the poor. What has emerged is a unique Health Behavior Change model with strong potential to reduce maternal and newborn deaths at scale, which could indeed be replicated in some of the poorest communities in India. The following section, based on the experience of UPCMP, aims to describe this model at length – taking the reader through its participatory learning and action cycle, owned and operated by local women leaders. The principle objective of UPCMP is to reduce neonatal mortality by developing and scaling up a package of family health interventions, while also working to strengthen community management of Behavior Change Communications (BCC). Utilizing the SHG platform to identify target women and impart information on Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (RMNCH), the project seeks to inculcate knowledge, strengthen skills and invite families to adopt better behavioral practices for safer pregnancies, newborn care and child health. Work with SHGs is complemented by efforts to strengthen health services and improve linkages with health systems. In line with RGMVP’s main operating strategy, UPCMP embraces a participatory learning and action cycle to identify and prioritize problems facing target women, and then mobilize action to address them. The process depends on SHG functioning, committed mobilisers and local health workers, active communication between SHGs and VOs and continuous capacity building and community support for measuring progress and impact. This section will reveal that the proof is in the process. When all cogs work together to activate SHGs, the results can indicate tremendous improvement in family health behaviors and increased access to life-saving health services. UPCMP EMBRACES A PARTICIPATORY LEARNING AND ACTION CYCLE TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE PROBLEMS...AND THEN MOBILIZE ACTION TO ADDRESS THEM.
