**ABOUT SNEHA**

A secular, Mumbai-based non-profit organisation, 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 recognises 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 11 programs running across SNEHA which are Maternal and Child
Health (MCH), Child Health and Nutrition (CHN) - Aahar, Empowerment, Health and Sexuality of
Adolescents (EHSAS), Prevention of Violence against Women and Children (PVWC) (e) SNEHA
Centre, SNEHA Shakti, Healthy Cities Project (HCP), Samagra, Palliative Care, Livelihood Generation,
Central Operations, Research and IM.

**ABOUT THE PROGRAMME**

Apart from medical care, many social and economic factors play an important role in shaping health.
These factors such as poverty, unemployment, lack of education, social exclusion and discrimination,
lack of access to affordable health services of decent quality are termed as social determinants of
health. The collaboration and Partnerships domain of SNEHA works on social determinants of
health by strengthening the social protection coverage available to the urban poor through
government sponsored schemes and policies as well as by forging partnerships with civil society
organisations which provide services to address the determinants of health that fall outside SNEHA’s
purview of work.

**THE PROFILE**:
The Programme Coordinator is expected to oversee implementation of awareness building activities
in target areas of various SNEHA programmes. The role also expects building strong rapport and

schemes, the civil service organisations working on social determinants of health and internally with
