| Project Description | Society for Nutrition Education and Health Action (SNEHA), a secular Mumbai-based NGO works towards improving the health, nutrition and safety of women, adolescents and children living in vulnerable urban informal settlements. With a continuum of care approach, the organization intervenes at critical life junctures such as adolescence, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and early childhood, seeking to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty and ill health. The Collaboration and Partnerships domain at SNEHA partners with government systems and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to address the social determinants of health and ensure adequate coverage of social protection for our target populations. As a social protection helpdesk, we strive to enable marginalized families to access social protection schemes while engaging with government systems implementing the schemes to improve service delivery. With the understanding that the social protection coverage provided by government schemes needs to be bolstered through partnerships with CSOs, we try to assess the partnership needs of various SNEHA programmes, map CSOs offering relevant services and strengthen referral processes related to social determinants of health. | ||||||||||||

| Project Description | SNEHA’s program on Prevention of Violence against Women and Children in informal settlements in Mumbai aims to develop and sustain high‐impact strategies for primary prevention, ensure survivors’ access to protection and justice, empower women to claim their rights, mobilize communities around ‘non tolerance for violence,’ and respond to the needs and rights of excluded and neglected groups. Through convergence, it works with government and public systems to reinforce their roles in ensuring basic social, civil and economic security for women in informal settlements. Access for women and children to the public health systems that support holistic quality redressal of violence is imperative to build a sustained and institutional response. The health-systems based approach focuses on strengthening the public health sector’s response towards violence which is complex and multi-faceted. The project focuses on three levels of prevention. Primary prevention involves training healthcare providers to identify and respond to cases of violence. Secondary prevention offers crisis counseling and legal services to survivors. Tertiary prevention enhances collaboration among various departments and external organizations to institutionalize a comprehensive response to violence. This model ensures a coordinated approach, providing immediate and ongoing support for survivors and integrating resources within and beyond the healthcare system. | |||||||||
