Job Description
PCI India, a registered Indian society, has been working in India for the past 25 years. We drive interventions to transform the lives of communities at scale by solving complex development problems. In the past year, PCI India reached more than 1.5 crore, i.e. 15 million people in 1649 Blocks of 163 Districts in 14 States
Maternal undernutrition and iron-deficiency anemia contribute to 20% of maternal deaths globally and significantly increase risks of perinatal mortality, especially among pregnant women and adolescents. In India, where around 30 million pregnancies occur annually, a large proportion of women enter pregnancy malnourished 18% are underweight (BMI 18.5), 24% are overweight or obese, 52% are anemic, and 7% begin pregnancy as adolescents (NFHS-5, 2019). As per NFHS-5, anemia prevalence in Gujarat exceeds 62%, while 25% of women aged 15-49 years have a low Body Mass Index (BMI). At the same time, 77% of women had four antenatal care visits, and 79% registered in the first trimester. These maternal health issues result in poor birth outcomes, such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and increased risk of complications like dystocia, hemorrhage, pre-eclampsia, and gestational diabetes. These maternal health issues result in poor birth outcomes, such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and increased risk of complications like dystocia, haemorrhage, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes.
To address these issues, the Government of India is implementing Anemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) and Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA). AMB focuses on six key strategies including IFA supplementation, testing and treatment, BCI, and improved supply chain and monitoring, while PMSMA ensures quality antenatal care and identification of high-risk pregnancies. Anemia among adolescents is also catered to the comprehensive AMB strategy with supplementation, testing and follow up. NI, in collaboration with Goal, plays a critical role in strengthening maternal nutrition services to address persistent gaps and sustain progress.
This project aims to strengthen the implementation of maternal and adolescent nutrition interventions focusing on improved ANC/PNC service quality, consistent availability of IFA and calcium, anemia testing among adolescents, and community engagement using behavior change tools. Nutrition International, in collaboration with PCI and government stakeholders, will support program planning, capacity building, supply chain management, and advocacy to enhance maternal nutrition outcomes. The goal is to scale up proven strategies, ensure system readiness, and increase uptake of essential nutrition services for adolescents, pregnant and lactating women.
This project is a collaborative effort, with NI overseeing technical and financial aspects and PCI executing implementation activities.
