India
Since 2001, the BASICS program in India has been mandated almost exclusively to provide assistance in community-based newborn care, essential nutrition, and primary immunization to the RACHNA (Reproductive and Child Health, Nutrition and HIV/AIDS) program. Implemented by the international relief and development organization, CARE, RACHNA includes goals to reduce mortality and malnutrition among children in a program area covering 78 districts in 9 states and a total population of around 100 million. RACHNA works through existing government programs and systems, as well as through smaller partnerships with NGOs and community-based groups. The project also partners with other agencies such as UNICEF, WHO and World Bank.
