**Introduction**

Child in Need Institute (CINI) has been implementing/facilitating different programs to demonstrate models in improving quality of lives of children, adolescent and women in need. CINI also provides technical support to different State Governments and at National level for strengthening existing services and build up capacities of personnel working at different layers. CINI’s core model is based on CINI method that promotes a rights-based convergence approach which has so far attracted the attention of policy makers and other different actors of development sector, and which has proven to be an effective design to promote local level solutions for improving care and protection of Children.

**About the Project**:
The health and nutrition status of a mother throughout her lifecycle (her childhood, adolescence, and pre-/pregnancy period) is a major contributory factor to the growth and development of her child having far-reaching implication even in her/his adult well-being and morbidity. Good nutrition and a healthy gestation period is important for foetal development, survival and for growth from birth through childhood. Even after birth, till the 1000th day of his/her life (when 80% of brain development takes place), choice of healthy practices and optimal nutrition help the children achieve their developmental milestones unhindered and prevent life threatening diseases in adult years. The crucial period therefore is the time from conception till the child’s second birthday—the 1000 days in which good nutrition and healthy growth have lasting benefits throughout the child’s life. Several programmes in India have been directed towards improving maternal and child health outcomes. In line with the Sustainable Development Goal 3 which lays emphasis on reducing maternal, new-born and child mortality, the latest RMNCH+A (Reproductive, Maternal, New-born, Child and Adolescent Health) program launched by the Government of India uses a comprehensive approach to address health inequities across vulnerable populations, high-burden, difficult and remote geographies, and consists of a bundle of strategic interventions across various life stages aimed at improving both maternal and neonatal outcomes. While the strategy has succeeded in implementation through coordinated efforts, further improvements in the quality of implementation, incorporation of a robust monitoring and evaluation framework and a deeper focus on social determinants of health and equity have been called for to enhance its overall impact to sustain improvement.
