POSHAN District Nutrition Profiles (DNPs) draw on diverse sources of data to compile a set of indicators on the state of nutrition and its cross-sectoral determinants. The profiles are intended to be conversation-starters at the district level and to enable discussions about why undernutrition levels are high, and which factors, at multiple levels, might need to be addressed to improve nutrition.
PLEASE NOTE that POSHAN is regularly tracking data sources as they are released and updating the profiles accordingly.

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

Understanding the process and factors of intersectoral convergence in the delivery of nutrition interventions in Odisha, India
1. Understanding the process and factors of intersectoral
convergence in the delivery of nutrition interventions in
Odisha, India

• India faces one of the biggest malnutrition challenges in the world.
• Increasing the coverage of essential nutrition interventions already in place is
suggested to markedly reduce maternal and child nutrition.
• Large-scale implementation often requires different sectors to work together, to
reach all target groups.
• In India, responsibility for the implementation of nutrition interventions is shared
between two ministerial departments – Dept. of Health and Family Welfare
(DHFW) and Dept. of Women and Child Development (DWCD), particularly
through DHFW’s National Health Mission (NHM) and DWCD’s Integrated Child
Development Services (ICDS) with their cadres of frontline workers (FLWs). .
• To examine how intersectoral convergence in nutrition programming is
operationalized between ICDS and health programs at the state to village
levels in Odisha state, and to identify factors influencing convergence in policy
implementation and service delivery at different administrative levels.

Table 2. Summary of roles, degree and key mechanisms of convergence, and salient
factors by different administrative levels
• There is collaboration among state-level actors, particularly in setting policies
and program guidelines, but little evaluation and resource allocation to
understand the performance of these strategies.
• District-level coordination ex.: “There is an immunization plan for the entire
district... It is prepared with coordination between both the [Health and ICDS]
departments... so that service is provided in a better way, coverage is
expanded, coordination is maintained, and there are no missed cases.”
• There is limited cooperation at the block level, specifically for supervision.
• FLW collaboration ex.: “I [ANM] prepare the [beneficiaries] list, and AWW and
ASHA will call the children, and I immunize them. Suppose I provide
immunization, fill out the cards, and check the tally, it will be a difficult task for
me alone. So, AWW and ASHA help me.” .
Definitions of convergence:
Integration: the highest-order of relationships with shared structures or merged
sectoral remits. Collaboration: enhancing one another’s capacity and sharing of
some resources or personnel to facilitate strategic joint planning and action on
certain issues, while maintaining sectoral remits. Coordination: altering one’s
activities to achieve a common purpose; interactions are often unstructured or
based on a loose goal-oriented agreement and working together on certain issues
while maintaining sectoral remits. Cooperation: sharing or exchanging information
or resources only; continuing to work in separate sectors with little communication
or strategic planning on issues.
Sampling and data collection
• Semi-structured interviews were conducted at state level, 3 districts (one well
performing, one average performing, and one poorly performing), 12 blocks
(subdivision or town), and 12 villages.
• For each village, FLWs included 1 Anganwadi Worker (AWW, honorary female
worker selected from community to deliver health and nutrition services and
preschool education under ICDS), 1 Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA,
female health worker who serves as community mobilizer to access health
services and community-level care provider), and 1 Auxiliary Nurse Midwife
(ANM, multi-purpose female worker who provides a package of health care
services for women and children). See Table 1 for total number of interviews.
Data analysis
• Data coding on types of services, coordination mechanisms, facilitators and
barriers.
Table 1. Sample size by administrative level and sector
• Different degrees of convergence exist at different levels, with little variation
across sites. Block level showed weakest degrees of cooperation.
• Clear guidelines and regularity of convergent actions across all levels and
sectors are needed.
• Addressing factors to improve mult-sectoral coordination may help to enhance
the quality and coverage of essential interventions already in place to improve
maternal and child health and nutrition.
• Further research: Determine implications of convergence on intervention
quality and coverage.
