The program has made progress towards key outcomes in terms of increased access to deliveries by skilled birth attendants, children fully immunized, and increased access to family planning. However, concerns remain about the quality of care in delivery of RCH services and the near stagnant rates for the use of Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) in management of diarrhea. The program as well as the Bank support to it ends on the 31st March, 2012. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) has concentrated on actions to improve access to quality RCH services, resulting in improved impact in the following areas: (i) Page 1 of 8
under the conditional cash transfer scheme of the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) more than 11 million women delivered in institutions in 2010-2011; (ii) field visits indicate that essential maternal health drugs are now available in the system; (iii) the quality of data in the web-based Health Management Information System (HMIS) and the Maternal Child Tracking System (MCTS) has shown steady improvement; (iv) the state Program Implementation Plans (PIPs) and annual budgets demonstrate a stronger focus on reaching vulnerable groups, with some variations in approach; (v) State/District Programme Management Units have been set up in all states, are involved in the day to day management of the program and have greatly enhanced the efficiency of implementation; (vi) there are systematic district planning processes in place in most states, with continuous progress in the quality and number of District Health Action Plans which have increased from 284 in 2006-07, to 636/640 in 2011; (vii) the establishment of a system and culture of quarterly financial reporting has led to improvements in the timeliness of financial reporting by states; (viii) program management has been strengthened and the Bank team has provided supportive supervision in 264 high focus districts with poor health outcomes; (ix) Quality Assurance Committees (QACs) at state and district level have been strengthened to improve quality of RCH services; and (x) a scheme to support "zero cost" deliveries at facilities for pregnant women using a results based financing approach was designed and implemented.

Key Decisions Regarding Implementation The 8th Joint Review Mission held in July 2011 and the fifth Common Review Mission held in December 2011, measured performance in terms of results and implementation progress since 2005 as well as lessons learnt for the next plan period. The key findings are available in these reports, which were also shared in a dissemination event held in January 2012. The 8th Joint Review Mission made the following key recommendations going forward to the next five year plan, including amongst others : (i) all technical divisions related to RCH at the central level should continue to remain under a single administrative authority given the positive experience during the last year; (ii) the MOHFW should consider expanding the results based financing approach in the next five year plan cycle in a phased manner as it makes a more efficient use of funds as well as provides the impetus to achieve the necessary results; (iii) MoHFW should continue to use HMIS and MCTS data in the state program reviews; this would encourage states to do the same and accelerate the validation and use of data for monitoring and planning purposes; (iv) the state s comprehensive training plan (CTP) needs to be further strengthened to ensure that training plans are aligned with facility operationalization priorities and take into account training capacities in both public and private sectors; (v) states should focus on developing evidence-based BCC strategies and prioritize the range of behaviours they should target. A Monitoring and Evaluation framework for BCC needs to be established; and, (vi) Quality Assurance framework needs to be strengthened further to improve the quality of RCH services.
