Multilple positions - Family Health Initiative
 CARE Bihar
 Location: Bihar
 Last Date: December 5, 2010

CARE is one of the world’s leading independent, not-for-profit organizations, fighting poverty in over seventy countries. In India, CARE works across ten states, ensuring the poorest and most marginalized communities, especially women and girls, have access to quality healthcare, education and livelihood opportunities.  

CARE will be leading a 5-year Family Health Initiative to catalyze dynamic processes for developing, testing and scaling-up solutions to transform public health and nutrition services across Bihar. The project aims to dramatically improve survival and healthcare for women, newborns and children, especially in rural areas. This proposed project will be supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and will run in partnership with Columbia University, Emory University, Save the Children, Abt Associates and Janini. 

The goal of the project is to improve the quality and delivery of comprehensive family health services in eight districts initially and then expanding to the entire state of Bihar, supporting the Government of Bihar’s (GoB) goal to improve the health and survival of women, newborns and children. This goal will be achieved by: 1) increasing the delivery of high-impact, cost-effective interventions; 2) improving the quality and quantity of provider-client interactions at the frontline and first level facilities; 3) increasing demand for key services and health promoting behaviors; and 4) facilitating adoption of successful approaches throughout Bihar and communicating success nationally. The project will focus on set of high-impact technical interventions which will be supported by five solution hypotheses for driving rapid change. The priority interventions have been identified on technical data from interventions and results from India and developing countries.
