Institute for Global Development

It focuses on empowering communities by addressing health and education gaps and promoting leadership through community involvement. Its initiatives include supporting pregnant and lactating mothers with antenatal and postnatal care, encouraging institutional deliveries, breastfeeding, and complete immunisation, along with regular health check-ups and nutritional support like iron and folic acid intake. It also organises capacity-building sessions for healthcare workers and forms women’s and girls’ groups of various age groups to provide orientation on health, hygiene, and related issues.

It collaborates with government programmes to enhance their reach and effectiveness, particularly in the education and health sectors. Its efforts include building the capacities of teachers, administrators, and policymakers in education, as well as supporting frontline health workers like ASHAs, ANMs, and AWWs alongside medical officers and local officials. By working in underserved areas and addressing challenges such as population size and remote locations, it strives to complement Government initiatives and extend their benefits to overlooked communities.
