16. NGO-rch policy
Ninth Five Year Plan (1997-2002):
• Department of Family Welfare introduced the Mother
NGO scheme under the Reproductive and Child Health
Programme.
• Grants were sanctioned to NGOs in allocated districts
called Mother NGOs (MNGOs), which in turn issued
grants to smaller NGOs called Field NGOs (FNGOs).
• Broad objectives of the MNGO scheme:
– Addressing the gaps in information on RCH services in
the project area.
– Building institutional capacity at the State,
district/field level.
– Advocacy and awareness generation

17. Why need for revision of
policy
Drawbacks :
 Limited decentralization.
 Poor judgement and transparency in the selection of NGOs.
 Lack of clarification in the roles and responsibilities of the
participating NGOs.
 Complicated programmatic and financial guidelines,
 delays in fund releases

18. Proposed revised policy in
12th five year plan
• NGOs with the required level of competence would be
selected to work at the National/State/District/ levels.
• the entire district can be covered and for others the district
can identify the blocks for NGO support and prioritize the
engagement of NGOs in blocks.
• decentralization to the State and district level, with the
Centre playing a policy and guidance role
• to facilitate better synergy and coordination between the
NGO and the department of health, there would be a
designated NGO Coordinator at the State and district level
respectively.

19. Proposed revised policy
• At the district level, the NGOs would be divided into two types based on
function as follows:
– Field NGOs (FNGOs) - carry out the activities like training and
capacity building, community monitoring, advocacy and community
mobilization, planning, etc.
– Service NGOs (SNGOs) - focusing on service delivery especially in
un-served and underserved areas.
• The funding pattern - through the NRHM and RCH flexi pools. The
NRHM guidelines to utilize upto 5% of the total NRHM funds as Grants-
in-aid to NGOs as well as public private partnerships as delineated in the
NRHM implementation framework would be maintained.
• Clear cut output/performance indicators for NGOs must be identified
between the State/District health societies with the NGO laying down the
tasks to be performed by the NGOs.
