MALARIA INCIDENCE IN INDIA

Introduction
• Development intervention approaches in INDIA over
  the past 60 years have been very much a ‘supply
  oriented one way traffic’.
• The limitations of the approaches which we had been
  following include:
           •   A top down approach
           •   Target oriented
           •   Non involvement of the people
           •   Vertically controlled sectoral approach without any horizontal
               coordination at the micro level.
           •   The dominant development thinking oriented towards greater
               inputs (supply) than what people demanded.
           •   Near total absence of self confidence and even self respect.
           •   Lack of appreciation and promotion of indigenous technical
               knowledge and resources.
           •   The ever growing recipient attitude.

THE MAIN CHALLENGE
• Dislodge the strong dependency culture.
• Help them regain their self image and self
  respect
• Create in them a strong sense of public
  consciousness to care about and to stand as
  the sentinel on the community
  infrastructure.
• Prepare and transform them to realize the
  need for community led initiatives.
1/5/2012           community participation      7
Key to the challenge
• The basic logic for the success of any
  intervention in development and work
  depends on the confidence built and the
  power given to people to decide and take
  community initiatives. Consensus is its key.
• The primary factor for promoting consensus
  and instilling confidence is participation.

Definition of community participation
• A process by which individuals and families
  assume responsibility of their own health
  and develop their capacity to contribute to
  development .

  development instead of being passive
  beneficiaries of development aid.
Definition

  become actively and genuinely involved in
  defining the issues of concern to them, in
  making decisions about factors that affect
  their lives, in formulating and implementing

  achieve change’ (WHO, 2002, p.10).

DISADVANTAGES OF COMMUNITY
             PARTICIPATION
• Participation does not occur automatically. It is a process. It
  involves time. Hence it may lead to delayed start of a project.

• In a bottom-up participation process, we have to move along the
  path decided by the local people. This entails an increased
  requirement of material as well as human resources.

• Participation leads to decentralization of power. People at the top
  should be ready and willing to share power with the people.

• Participation sometimes develop dependency syndrome.

• Participation can result in shifting of the burden into the poor.

             VOLUNTEER SCHEME
• the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government
  came to power in 1977, it adopted the approach
  but changed the length of training to 3 month.
  Additionally, it was planned to add one doctor
  per Primary Health Centre for training purposes.
• The implementation progress was slow and
  further delayed by the reelection of Congress in
  1980
• The new government renamed the programme
  in Community Health Volunteers (CHV)
1/5/2012            community participation      77
SELECTION OF CHV
• The community used to select one of its own members as
  the community health volunteer or the VHW.
• The most common procedure adopted for selection of
  VHGs was that Village Panchayats (village self-government
  councils) recommended two or three names to the
  primary health centre .
• A final decision made by a committee consisting of
  Medical Officer, Block Development Officer and the
  elected chairperson of the Block Panchayat Committee.
• Although the selection was to be made in an open
  meeting of the total village council, in practice, most
  often, only a few important village leaders were involved
  in the selection.

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY CHVS
•    in 1981, the central government had decided to reduce its contribution
    from 100 to 50 percent of the costs of the scheme and asked the State
    Government to meet the remainder.

• Later, following the conviction that women should be employed as VHGs,
  the central government decided to fund the scheme fully once again.

• All this led to employment considerations becoming more important to
  VHGs than social service and ultimately they were demanding for higher
  remuneration.

• One of the main issues enveloping the VHGs was their
  'medicalization'.Trained for three months, they focused on providing
  curative services, to the neglect of preventive and promotive tasks.

• The VHGs began to perceive themselves as village medical practitioners,
  often even demanding further training for this purpose.

• Poor role definition

THE INTEGRATED CHILD DEVELOPMENT
       SERVICE SCHEME,1975
The programme is community-based.

A local woman is selected and trained for three month to become
   the Anganwadi worker.

She then works in the village covering a population of 1000.

In the Anganwadi centre (childcare centre) she prepares and
    distributes food, maintains growth charts, weighs children and
    gives non-formal education to the beneficiaries.

The Anganwadi also cooperates with the Primary Health Centre staff
  for health check up, immunization and referral.
THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY
             ICDS
• Communication with the health staff of Primary
  Health Centres was weak.

• The programme was more perceived as a
  feeding scheme by the communities and
  demand for health services did not increase.

• The educational efforts fell short to increase
  health knowledge of mothers, thus, prevention
  of malnourishment was not achieved.

INDIA’S COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
      LAW: THE MODEL NAGARA RAJ
               BILL, 2008
• The Model Nagara Raj Bill, 2008 (hereinafter ‘the Bill’) is India’s first
  community participation legislation and creates a new tier of decision making
  in each municipality called the Area Sabha.

• The Bill is a mandatory reform under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban
  Renewal Mission (JNNURM), which means that the various states in India
  must enact a community participation law to be eligible for funds under the
  JNNURM program.

•    This is crucial because the Bill has the potential to empower people by
    ensuring regular citizen participation in decision-making that affects the
    conditions of their lives.

Editor's Notes

  1. Participation is rapidly becoming a catch all concept,todayther are practically no programmes or projects that do not emphasise the necessity of participation.govt of india too after reviewing the seven five year plans finally recognised the significance of participation and stated in the 8th 5 year plan “people’s initiatives and participation should be made akey element in the process of development instead of people being passive observers’
  2. Active involvement of the local population in the decision making and implementation of development Projects Role of the community– Formulating a health program– Enabling its residents to understand and make informed choices– Reconciling outside objectives with community priorities The community both determines collective needs and priorities, and assumes responsibility for these decisions
