Revised Annual Action Plan: 2014-15 ICDS Systems Strengthening & Nutrition Improvement Project (ISSNIP)

Abstract

The proposed project will follow a two-phased Adaptable Programme Lending (APL) approach. During phase 1, the project will invest in a combination of high-quality techno-managerial support at the central and State levels and strong implementation support at district and sub-district levels. This support will help strengthen the leadership and operational capacities at different levels, training and monitoring systems and convergent functioning with NRHM and related programmes. This phase of the project will also entail design and conduct of a range of specific pilots in limited areas to generate concrete evidence for approaches that are likely to work at scale to improve programme outcomes. Phase 2 of the project will aim for large scale application of lessons learned and approaches evolved during phase 1 to achieve the measurable outcomes.
