We support the government to enable couples to plan their families by offering a basket of contraceptive choices at health facilities and within communities across the state.
We focus on strengthening facilities for seamless provision of FP services by addressing gaps in infrastructure, equipment, supplies and human resources. It works with counsellors and service providers at the facility, and with the Frontline Workers at the community to educate the couples on the importance of family planning and provide quality contraceptive services as per the couple’s need and choice. It also engages the private sector family planning service providers to augment the capacity of the public health facilities. The program has supported the GoUP in establishing review platforms which has helped rationalise the planning of family focus days to improve reach, improve FP commodity security and improve service provider engagement and performance.

We focus on reducing maternal and child morbidity and mortality by improving Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) in the 25 High Priority Districts of the state.
We support the government in building capacity of the Frontline Workers to counsel communities about maternal and child nutrition, with a focus on promotion of early initiation of breast feeding and exclusive breast feeding for six months, complementary feeding with a focus on diet diversity, iron and folic acid supplementation for pregnant women. The project also supports the government in effective implementation of Poshan Abhiyaan components in UP.

We support the government by using data to inform health policies and by streamlining processes to strengthen the public health system in the state. 

We support the GoUP in improving the management of human resources for health, streamlining the public health procurement and supply chain processes, developing digital health solutions and strengthening data for decision-making. Few of the key areas where the UP TSU has supported the state in strengthening the health system include: 

• the roll out of the Manav Sampada Human Resource Management System
• addressing service provision gaps at first referral units by rationally  deploying service providers through the “Buddy-Buddy” model
• establishing a nodal and independent Medical Supplies Corporation; 
• implementing IT solution for streamlining of payments to Frontline Workers (particularly the Accredited Social Health Activist – ASHA)  through an innovative ASHA payments application
• developing and rolling out a health dashboard for decision making and establishing platforms for periodic data review.
