RRC ACTIVITIES IN ORISSA-
Basically the MNGOS and the counterpart FNGOs are delivering :– a) MCH services The tailor made and innovative gender responsive reproductive health services are provided to the marginalized population in identified areas in close cooperation with district/block health authority and other stake holders including PRI members. Apart from the ongoing activities, the MNGOs are supplementing and complementing implementation of both state and central Govt sponsored schemes and programmes. e.g. -
COVERAGE
CAPACITY BUILDING by RRC to MNGOs
MONITORING
Membership of MNGOs & FNGOs in various committee at the district level :
WORK DONE BY FNGOs In real sense the FNGOs are the front liner in providing RCH services and information to the marginalized population residing in hard to reach areas .The low paid but motivated staffs, volunteers and functionaries facilitating routine immunization work ,ANC/PNC activity with close cooperation of health department and functionaries. Involvement in conducting ASHA training seems to be a success and the input delivered was qualitative one and replicated in their functioning. Though FNGOs faced management challenges to implement activities in hard to reach area but the programme managing well. It is also observed that the capacity of field NGOs to deliver the programme is constrained due to non-availability of financial and human resources. The scheme demands a strong leadership at local levels and ownership from the community. This can be achieved through more advocacy effort by the MNGOs. It is the right time to enhance the knowledge base practices and behavior of the staff, functionaries of the field NGOs on NRHM, Government of Orissa has already published Field NGO, ToT Manual in Oriya Language and distributed to all file level functionaries. We can not deny the contribution made by MNGOs for the realization of the goal and objectives laid down in the NPP-2000 and in the state RCH-II PIP. In addition to this, NRHM has already attempted to enhance more involvement of MNGO/FNGOs in Advocacy activity to reach at the goal by 2012. THE PROCESS OF SELECTION OF NGOS The MNGO selection process is participatory & transparent. It passed through well structured procedure and norms. District and state administration were consulted in each stage, right from advertisement, field appraisal, identification of un-served and underserved area, baseline survey to project proposal development and recommendation by District NGO committee to State NGO committee for technical input and final approval. The rigorous MNGO selection process was systematized one and institutionalized a process of collective responsibility both of the district and state authority. NON SCALEPAL VASECTOMY CAMP HELD AT PADMAPUR ON 26.6.2007 FACILITATED BY MNGO USO, RAYAGADA Women play a major role in the tribal communities. From the management of kitchen to forests the family depends on women. Polygamy among the tribals of the region is common. In addition to maintenance of children the women largely contributes towards the maintenance of male member in the family. consumption of Alcohol among the male member is the main factor for poor economic standard of the family, despite the best efforts put in by women. Major part of the income of male members goes to drinking Excess drinking leads to unemployment and results in food shortage. excess responsibilities of family maintenance does not provide any time for women to come together. In the absence of education and leadership the women are exploited in day to day activities of wage earning, marketing and social functions. The male members don’t bother about how many children they need. more number of children and more number of wife is considered to be asset to the family, which the male member can enjoy from their income. But the turnout in the NSV camp held at Padmapur on 26.6.2007 has established the fact that right approach in the motivation can bring a change in the behavior and beliefs of the people. The turnout of 104 persons in the first NSV camp of Rayagada district has encouraged the basic health care providers, the Medical officers, the health administration and the health NGOs to understand that it is possible. The credit goes to the leadership of Dr. Chandrasekhar Ojha, Medical Officer I/c. and the Team Members of Padmapur CHC. The encouragements, support from the Chief District Medical Officer and the DPMU, Rayagada is noteworthy. The first of its kind – the best initiative is the unfolding for the health system of Rayagada district. Number of persons operated – 104.
VALUE ADDITION MADE BY RRC TOWARDS MENTORING OF MNGO SCHEME The MNGO Scheme came as a new paradigm and presently 11 regional resource centers (RRCs), across the country are shouldering responsibility for capacitating the staffs and functionaries for better functioning and operationalisation of MNGO and SNGO scheme as per the revised guidelines with financial assistance from MOHFW & UNFPA. SWASTHA SIKHYA started formally functioning as Regional Resource Centre (RRC) since October 2006. Regional Resource Centers Orissa is presently located at SIH & FW, Nayapalli, Bhubaneswar,Orissa. For an effective implementation of the NRHM/RCH-II programme,, RRC, Orissa has been instrumental in providing technical and managerial support and information to the NGOs (M/F NGOs) as well as the State Government. Apart from regular activities RRC Orissa continuously extending support to NRHM, Govt.of Orissa on monitoring of various programme, designing of advocacy strategy, technical input for designing appropriate IEC/BCC materials .Regarding training in the context of ASHA,BCC and for middle level functionaries, RRC team meaningfully shared their expertise. RRC Orissa has successfully established good rapport and contact with other stakeholders including UN bodies and civil society organizations and trying hard for GO-NGO collaborations/partnership especially in NRHM related areas. MID-TERM EVALUATION OF MNGOs: Very recently after one year of intervention of MNGO scheme under NRHM/RCH-II, Govt. of Orissa empanelled five independent evaluating agencies to assess the effect and impact of this programme over the targeted population. The evaluation was done by adopting participatory approach. By end of July 2007 the qualitative and quantitative outcomes would give clear perspective and direction towards quality service delivery & effective management of the MNGO scheme. From the draft evaluation report, NRHM, Orissa has identified various systemic and management issues including development of accountable and performance oriented system, financial & programme monitoring with involvement of community & local bodies, building trust and accountability in the system, effective integration and convergence, and fostering true sense of partnership between the state and Non-Governmental sector.

Govt of Orissa has successfully established partnership with civil societies including NGOs in delivering Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) services through mother NGOs (MNGO) to the marginalized population of the un-served and under-served area. As of June 2007, 21 MNGOs and 119 FNGOs are working in 287 sub-centers of 29 districts of the state providing RCH services to 12,93,921 population. In addition to this there are 2 SNGOs initially started functioning targeting 2 lakh population. A sum of Rs. 307.5 Lakhs (18 months grant) was disbursed by NRHM to 10 nos of MNGO ( old ) and a sum of Rs. 292.5 Lakhs was released to 11 MNGO (12 months grant) to carry out activities as per the approved planned measures. Basically the MNGOs & FNGOs are working concertedly in eco- inhospitable 119 blocks and sub-centers for demand generation at the grass root to have access to RCH services and information and for addressing the unmet needs of the identified targeted population. A cadre of about 628 well trained and committed human resource pool positioned at MNGOs and FNGOs are constantly persuading for orienting adolescents for responsive parenthood through life skill education, counseling and camp activities. Orissa perhaps the only state where the MNGO scheme is fully operational in 14 inland and 15 costal districts out of a total of 30 districts. The left out district, viz. Bhadrak will be covered shortly under this scheme. This achievement is due to effective decentralization, flexibility in decision-making, timely release of funds and proper accountability.
