WASH INTERVENTIONS IN ICDS
In Collaboration with HUP-Plan India
Uttarakhand
WASH linkages in ICDS: Rationale
•The infant mortality rate of Uttarakhand stands at a high of 43/1000 (AHS 2011).
It is particularly relevant to the slums that have high risk of water borne diseases
and where child malnutrition and other underlying health problems are
common.
•Provision of safe drinking water, toilets and promoting hygiene practices for
vulnerable population such as children and women is a pre-requisite for their
good health. Infant mortality rate is highly affected by non availability of safe
drinking water, improved sanitation facilities and good hygiene behaviors
•The health benefits of using safe drinking water coupled with good hygiene
practices include decreased morbidity and mortality due to diarrhea and other
water and sanitation related diseases, improved nutritional status of children and
overall improvement in health of the community.
•ICDS aims at holistic child development through integrated approach. It is
evident that the objectives of ICDS cannot be fulfilled without integrating water,
sanitation and hygiene (WASH) aspects in its program activities.
IEC on WASH
• ICDS Uttarakhand and HUP Plan India has jointly
published IEC material on WASH to promote
preventive health aspects among children and
community. HUP Posters and Flip book to be used
in urban Anganwadi centers (AWCs).
•Capacity building of frontline functionaries of
ICDS and Health on usage of the IEC material for
effective implementation was also conducted.
•Posters on Hand washing are being used in all
the 316 urban AWCs of Dehradun to adopt
hygiene practices among children and Flip Books
for information sharing on WASH aspects during
Urban Health and Nutrition Days (UHNDs).
Training Module On WASH Promotion For
Frontline Functionaries Of ICDS
• In order to support meeting the objectives and
outcomes of holistic child development a training module
on Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion has
been developed for the frontline workers of ICDS/Health
• This training module focuses on the key components of
water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), which are the key
determinants of health and well-being.
• It is designed to train frontline workers (anganwadi
workers, Supervisors, CDPOs) of ICDS and equip them
with appropriate knowledge and skills for better urban
WASH outcomes and contribute in achieving the ICDS
objectives
Orientation on Point of Use Water and Hygiene
Approach
• Capacity Building of ICDS functionaries through
an orientation program on Point of Use (PoU)
Safe Drinking Water approach held by HUP on
24th July 2013in coordination with HUP-Plan
India.
•The orientation resulted in increased
understanding, capacities and skills on safe
drinking water among ICDS and health frontline
functionaries as master trainers.
• It also resulted in promoting linkage
development of PoU safe drinking water
approach at Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) to
reduce incidences of water borne diseases
among children and community.
Opportunities and Way Forward
• Scale up of IEC material on WASH in all the AWCs across the state
for inducing healthy behaviour among children.
•Adaptation of specific sessions on Hygiene in ICDS trainings for
Master Trainers based on Training Module prepared.
• Upgradation/Strenghthening of water and sanitation facilities in
AWCs
•UHND being organized in AWCs should serve as a common platform
to deliver maternal, child health care and nutrition services along
with promotion of WASH services and information to improve the
health outcomes particularly of children and women
