Family Health Campaign: Accountability for Change (SAJHEDAR)

The overall goal of this project is to bring about positive changes in the lives of women in rural communities of Madhya Pradesh, especially in the context of maternal health by reinforcing a process of public and social accountability.  This will include addressing the social determinants that affect maternal health by highlighting men’s accountability as responsible partners and parents within the family and society; and improving the quality and utilization of public health service by addressing the accountability of health systems to the community.

Key Objectives

  • To increase knowledge of government health services and health service entitlements within NRHM, especially those related to maternal health, JSY, decentralized planning and monitoring among persons associated with village level groups like Men’s Groups and Self Help Groups.
  • To increase leadership among men from men’s groups to address and engage with platforms like the panchayat, VHSC, RKS around health related entitlements.
  • To establish a cyclical system of monitoring and planning at the community level using the already established NRHM community monitoring guidelines based on concrete service guarantees and IPHS involving VHSC.
  • To increase knowledge and change attitudes of men on gender discrimination and key sexual reproductive health and rights issues with a focus on maternal health with a gender equality framework.
