Effectiveness of a technical support program with women’s self-help groups in catalyzing health and nutrition behaviors in Bihar—a multicomponent analysis
Introduction Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society launched the JEEViKA program in 2007 to improve livelihoods through the Self-Help Group (SHG) platform. Women’s SHGs have shown members’ health improvements by promoting awareness, practices and access to services. This study investigates whether Health & Nutrition (HN) interventions delivered by JEEViKA Technical Support Program (JTSP) via SHG platforms could improve maternal and newborn hea…
Women’s empowerment, family planning, and social norms
Research has examined women’s empowerment in family planning behaviours. However, few studies have explicitly accommodated the role of social norms in shaping this relationship. Furthermore, the role of family planning in women’s empowerment has not been studied extensively. This study is an integrative review of empirical evidence that captures the two-way relationship between women’s empowerment and their family planning behaviours while highli…
Facilitating behavioral change
Community health worker (CHW) programs are essential for expanding health services to many areas of the world and improving uptake of recommended behaviors. One of these programs, called Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA), was initiated by the government of India in 2005 and now has a workforce of about 1 million. ASHAs primarily focus on improving maternal and child health but also support other health initiatives. Evaluations of ASHA eff…
Layering of a health, nutrition and sanitation programme onto microfinance-oriented self-help groups in rural India
Successful integration of health, nutrition and sanitation programming within a non-health programme such as JEEViKA is possible through trainings provided to dedicated staff in decentralized positions, such as community mobilizers. The findings of this evaluation hold great promise for engaging existing non-health, nutrition and sanitation systems that are serving vulnerable communities to become partners in working towards ensuring stronger hea…

In 2010, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) partnered with the Government of Bihar (GoB), India to launch the Ananya program to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition (RMNCHN) outcomes. The program sought to address supply-and demand-side barriers to the adoption, coverage, quality, equity and health impact of select RMNCHN interventions. Approaches included strengthening frontline worker service delivery…
Health impact of self-help groups scaled-up statewide in Bihar, India
Health layering of self-help groups
Use of mobile technology by frontline health workers to promote reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition
BACKGROUND: mHealth technology holds promise for improving the effectiveness of frontline health workers (FLWs), who provide most health-related primary care services, especially reproductive, maternal, newborn, child health and nutrition services (RMNCHN), in low-resource - especially hard-to-reach - settings. Data are lacking, however, from rigorous evaluations of mHealth interventions on delivery of health services or on health-related behavio…
Use of monitoring data to improve implementation of a home fortification program in Bihar, India
This paper describes the use of program-monitoring data to track program performance and inform activities. Monitoring data were collected as part of an effectiveness trial of multiple micronutrient powders (MNPs) for children 6-18 months in Bihar, India. Communities (n = 70; reaching over 10,000 children) were randomized to receive either counselling on infant and young child feeding or both counselling and MNPs. Government frontline health work…
