The Umeed project supported by the Mobius Foundation is being implemented in 121 villages of Jarwal block of Bahraich district in Uttar Pradesh by the Population Foundation of India and its partner Save A Mother (SAM). It is a three-year project that commenced on April 1, 2023. The project aims to “Improve the health and well-being of women, adolescent girls, and communities through access and provision of family planning (FP) and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in Jarwal block in Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh.” The key objectives include: Increase awareness and demand for family planning and sexual and reproductive health services among the reproductive age group. Address sociocultural barriers and norms that hinder the health and well-being of adolescent girls through on-ground and digital Social Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) campaigns. Enable access to reproductive health and family planning services through SwasthyaSammelans.
A project reporting system (MIS) was developed and field-tested by the knowledge management team in September 2023. The MIS will be filled out by the field team and will help track progress on the key milestones. The MIS comprises nine tools- (i) village profile; (ii) list of eligible couples; (iii) home visits to eligible couples; (iv) follow up with new contraceptive users; (v) checklist to monitor services at Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Days (VHSNDs); (vi) Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Committee (VHSNC) meetings; (vii) school-based activities; (viii) SwasthyaMela; and (ix) District Health Society (DHS) and Block Coordination Committee meetings. The content has been finalised and MIS registers will be printed and distributed in the field by the end of November 2023. Each field facilitator will receive a kit containing the FP flipbook and MIS register for filling out during the field/ home visits.
