Descripción
This study reports the results of an
impact evaluation of a pilot project implemented in 220
villages in Bajna block, Ratlam district, Madhya Pradesh
(MP), India. The 30-month pilot was designed to improve
early childhood development outcomes through: (a) creating
awareness on child development issues among households and
the community; (b) strengthening linkages between different
service providers; (c) intensifying the connection between
the community, panchayat (local governments), and service
providers; (d) facilitating the formation of Village
Resource Groups (VRGs) with representatives of the
community, panchayat, and service providers to ensure better
convergence and coordination of service delivery; (e)
developing integrated village-level action plans around the
needs of the child; and (f) advocating and lobbying with
local, district, and state administration for flexible
allocation of resources. The evaluation assessed the impact
of the project on health, education, and nutrition
milestones or outcomes or outputs identified for each stage
of child development. This report is structured as follows:
chapter one gives background; chapter two presents
evaluation of the results of the pilot project; chapter
three presents progress in processes and identified outcomes
or milestones; and chapter four deals with Bachpan-lessons learned.
