The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI, in partnership with its India affiliate William J Clinton Foundation (WJCF), works in close partnership with and under the guidance of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) at the Central and States’ levels on an array of high priority initiatives aimed at improving health outcomes. Currently CHAI/WJCF works across projects to expand access to quality care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis-C, tuberculosis, cancer and immunization.

Nutrition Initiative

Since 2016, WJCF/CHAI has been supporting the state of Madhya Pradesh for developing and executing ambitious new efforts to reduce chronic malnutrition in India. The program’s focus has been on:

• Reducing prevalence of anaemia in adolescent girls and pregnant and lactating women by
  • Strengthening the current Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) supplementation programs,
  • Increasing awareness and knowledge on anaemia amongst frontline workers/ beneficiaries by driving operational excellence of a large field force,
  • Advocating for introduction of fortified staple commodities

• Reducing prevalence of underweight and stunting among children by
  • Improving and delivering affordable, nutritious food products fortified with the necessary minerals and vitamins,
  • Addressing implementation gaps and enhance program efficiency by introducing scalable technology solutions for supply chain management, and
  • Strengthening community-level systems for monitoring of nutrition indicators and establish a continuum of care and treatment for children with chronic, moderate and severe acute malnutrition.

Over the years, WJCF/CHAI has successfully executed these interventions and supported the Government of Madhya Pradesh in their efforts to achieve better nutrition and health outcomes. The opportunity of working in such a challenging context has allowed WJCF/CHAI to develop a deep understanding and knowledge of the key challenges that are contributing to the high burden of malnutrition and deploy strategies to address them in the most effective and efficient manner. As a next step, WJCF/CHAI expects to serve as a catalyst to leverage our knowledge and scale these efforts across other high-burden geographies in the country.
