Transcript of Baseline findings from two impact evaluations using self-help group platforms to deliver nutrition...
Leveraging the power of women’s self-help
groups to deliver nutrition outcomes

The studies
• Evaluation of the provision of nutrition BCC using SHG platforms in 2 projects
• PRADAN: Agriculture + Health and Nutrition BCC
• JEEViKA: Nutrition BCC + convergence & coordination among service providers
Ways in which SHGs can impact nutrition
Black et al., Lancet, 2013.
(framework for women’s nutrition is broadly similar but needs refining)
JEEViKA
GPs (N=24)
PSU(N=120)
Households(N=2400)
20 HHs per PSU such that at least one woman in the HH is an SHG member, and the respondent woman has a child <2 yrs
Wave 1(2016)
Process evaluation (2017)
Wave 2(2018)
HH quantitative panel survey; Community/SHG survey, Frontline worker surveys, Jeevika CM survey
Qualitative and quantitative data; cost data will also be gathered

JEEViKA
2 pronged intervention:– Health and nutrition BCC
– Convergence and coordination between frontline workers
• BCC materials developed by JTSP
WINGS
• Provision of health and nutrition BCC via change agents to SHG members
• BCC materials developed by PHRN
Intervention description
JEEViKA
• Impact of JEEViKA-MC versus JEEViKA on women’s BMI and child dietary diversity (primary) and child anthro and mother’s DD (secondary)
WINGS
• Impact of PRADAN’s standard and NI interventions versus non-PRADAN - on women’s BMI and diets (primary) and child anthroand diets (secondary)
• Added impact of NI interventions versus the standard PRADAN model on the above outcomes
