KEY POINTS
· With equal wages for women and men, and direct payments to workers’ bank accounts, MGNREGA helps to increase women’s incomes.
· Beyond behaviour change communication and regular monitoring, direct nutrition interventions are key, especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding and in the early years of a child’s life.
· While providing hot cooked meals frontline health workers also have the opportunity to give pregnant women iron, folic acid and calcium tablets.
· A study by the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) of Karnataka’s Mathrupoorna programme for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers found a reduction in anemia, improved gestational weight gain, improved birth weight, and reduced depression among women participants.
· Childcare enables women to earn a livelihood. Longer working hours for the anganwadi, will help women go out to do paid work, including on MGNREGA worksites.
· Mobile creches for younger children at these worksites and construction sites will help women to work without anxiety about their children’s safety and well-being.
· Convergent action on the ground is one of the strengths of gram panchayats. Anganwadi workers, ASHAs, ANMs and anganwadi supervisors can work together with panchayat members to ensure that all children and mothers are covered with maternity benefits and nutrition services.
