COMMUNITY ORGANIZER-INVESTIGATION, M & E RESEARCH

ABOUT SNEHA

A secular, Mumbai-based non-profit organization, SNEHA believes that investing in women's health is essential to building viable urban communities. SNEHA is 450+ person strong, innovative and progressive organization that works on health and nutrition in urban slum pockets with women and their families. SNEHA follows the life-cycle approach to health and nutrition,

by intervening at critical junctures (adolescence, preconception, conception, pregnancy, postnatal infancy and toddlerhood, family planning) to ensure improved health and nutritional outcomes for women and children living in some of Mumbai’s most vulnerable and deprived slums and in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) as well.

SNEHA recognizes that, in order to improve urban health standards, our initiatives must target both care seekers and care providers. We work with communities residing in informal settlements to empower women and communities to be catalysts of change in their own right and collaborate with existing public health systems and health care providers to create sustainable improvements in urban health.

We have currently multiple programs running across SNEHA which are Maternal and Child Health (MCH), Empowerment Health and Sexuality of Adolescents (EHSAS), Prevention of Violence against Women and Children

(PVWC), Public Systems Partnership (PSP), SNEHA Shakti, Livelihood Program, Palliative Care and various domains/departments under Central Operations, Research & Information Management.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) is a centralized domain of SNEHA with an independent framework of monitoring, assessment and reporting of program outcome and impact.

The role of the domain is to create evidence of models of urban health intervention that can be scaled and replicated through government and other NGO’s thus increasing the impact of the models. The domain closely works with SNEHA’s programs on maternal and newborn health, child health and nutrition, adolescent health and wellbeing and violence against women and children.
