6 CARE initiated operations in Bihar in 2011, with focused implementation in 8 districts

With the support of BMGF, Integrated Family Health Initiative (IFHI), spearheaded by 8 focus districts • Patna CARE, was focussed on supporting GoB to improve family health outcomes across state. • Samastipur The core objective was to test and scale-up innovative and high impact interventions / • Begusarai solutions. • Saharsa • 2010-11: Implementation Design • Khagaria • 2011-13: Solutions implemented in 8 focus districts • Gopalganj • Ongoing measurement of Results and Outcomes • E. Champaran • W. Champaran • 2013 onwards: Scale-up of solutions across State by goverment

Focus on 8 Technical interventions Categories of solutions

1. Family planning, especially for healthy timing, spacing, and limiting of Outreach pregnancies 2. Skilled attendance at birth, meeting guidelines for quality care, and delivery of quality emergency obstetric care Facility 3. Immediate newborn care, with special emphasis on care for low birth weight infants 4. Management of asphyxia Local-level 5. Prevention and management of neonatal sepsis debottlenecking 6. Early and exclusive breastfeeding 7. Appropriate complementary feeding 8. Complete immunization Innovation

7 There were lessons learnt from IFHI by mid-2013

. Proof of concept established: the proposed solution levers had worked at a scale of ~28m population, given the level of facilitation provided:

• Clear upstrokes in a range of desired outcomes

• Clear associations between levels of effort of FLWs and desired outcomes

. GoB appetite for solution levers was strong, wished them to be scaled up (HSC, mentoring)

. Plenty of solution-specific lessons available for fine-tuning

. Initial experience with eight ‘twin’ districts suggested that scale up was likely to be more rapid than the effort involved in the original districts

. Clear system level deficiencies, which were not being significantly corrected with current efforts of BTAST and others

8 In addition to the lessons learnt, there were circumstances favoring TSU formation

Consistent political support from GoB to improve the health of women and children, exemplified most recently by the launch of the Human Development Mission (Manav Vikas Mission) under the chairmanship of Chief Minister in the state

The then recent launch of the government of India’s (GoI) RMNCH+A strategy

Success of the Ananya program in identifying strategies and solutions that support these goals

Request to the Foundation from GoB for support in the areas of nutrition and family planning

9 Combination of these conditions led to evolution of TSU

TSU approach

• Co-owning development goals with GoB given high degree of alignment with Maternal & child health and nutrition initiatives; sharp focus on desired results

• Create ownership and necessary environment within Health departments and programs to implement solutions and nurture innovation

• Providing techno-managerial and operational expertise Go Support and TSU B co-own • Creating necessary enabling environment to GoB to nurture interventions

MVM* goals • Working closely with other development partners in strengthening system components for better service delivery

Expected outcome

• Formally influence and support health department and ICDS at highest levels to shape effective policies and complement systemic changes in areas of human resources, supply chain, IT etc.

• Create an enabling environment which will eventually drive sustainable change

The best EBF rates are seen in round R2 and R5 (both from winter), and the worst in R6 (peak summer). As seen in the next two slides, there are two main offending fluids: plain water and animal milk. The prevalence of feeding of plain water is entirely a function of season, as evinced by the non-linear changes across rounds, and is a mirror image of the overall EBF curves on this page. Animal milk feeding patterns represent a steady replacement of mother’s milk with age, with only minor seasonal change, largely limited to the 3+ months group.

Projections of IRS coverage for 2012 and 2013 were made based on linear regression modelling using district level coverages of 2014 to 2016, by which point monitoring support had increased considerably It is assumed that the 2012 coverage was typical of years since the appointment of KTS and VBDC under World Bank support.
