Brief Description of Project
Project Area
JICA intends to implement the RCH Project in the Sagar division. The five districts falling in the Sagar division are Sagar, Damoh, Tikamgarh, Panna and Chhattarpur.
Project Duration
Four years commencing from January 2007 to January 2011.
Need & Importance of the JICA/MP RH Project
The JICA RH Project is within the bigger umbrella of NRHM
and RCH II and compliments their activities and interventions.
The Project is an attempt to fill in the gaps through taking care of the
finer nuances and thus complimenting the Programs. The Project aims at
putting the state policies and plans of Reproductive Health into operation.
With such a wide ranging policies and programs in place to ensure the
upliftment of the status of maternal health of the state, it is imperative
that demonstrative role models having high replicability be created. The
JICA Project aims to create role models of improved service delivery (in
maternal health). These role models would serve the purpose of creating a
guideline for statewide replication. The intensive learnings from the field
would serve the purpose of translation of field demands and needs into
policy directives. All these interventions would thereby influence the
overall implementation and actualization of the various schemes and programs
at the field level. Thus this pilot project would have multifarious and
wide-ranging impacts, apart from making a meaningful dent in the MMR and NMR
of the Sagar division
Overall Goal

Strategic Principles
The basic strategy of the JICA/MP RHP is to start small and scale up. It can be summarized into the five letters from O to S as follows:
Operationalisation of NRHM/RCH-II through
Pilot Projects for
Quality services, followed by
Researches and
Scaling up
The project activities would revolve around the four main components of the Project which are:
-
Human Resource Management (HRM) focuses on capacity building of health workers for delivering quality MCH services.
-
Total Quality Management (TQM) aims at improving the managerial skills of the health staff at all levels. The strategy is to involve the entire staff for Quality Circle discussions to provide clean and safe delivery services, upgradation of health facilities and management of Bio-Medical Wastes, to name a few.
-
Health Management Information System (HMIS) wherein the collection of authentic data by ANMs and validation of data by LHVs is ensured alongwith regular flow of computerized information for evidence based planning and management purposes.
-
Provision of quality health services should meet the demand of the community. The Project enhances skills of both male and female health workers and supervisors on communication (IEC/BCC) for generation of the community demands.
Apart from the four components, it is planned that role models of health service delivery will be created in selected health facilities at different levels. All the four components would work in a concerted manner to establish such models. This particular intervention has been called the Sector Level Intervention Strategy.
