Programme Title
To strengthen the Juvenile Justice System by organizing training and capacity building programme
Description
The project at the State level focuses on strengthening the Juvenile Justice System in West Bengal with greater emphasis on Capacity building and knowledge management of Child Protection service-providers. The Child Protection Resource Centre as a part of this project will be the technical hub to assist the state in developing cadres of child protection service providers-as well as aid in different innovations. The resource centre would provide technical assistance, knowledge and research to support the development of policy and practice by a variety of stakeholders, including governments and civil society organizations.

The Child Protection Resource Centre would focus on the following:

Technical assistance to the Department of Women and Child Development/ Child Rights, District Child Protection Units, CWC, JJB and district administration and practitioners through advocacy and capacity building on juvenile justice and child protection.
Enhance knowledge and research services in support of policy and practice by a range of stakeholders, including the Directorate of Child Rights and Trafficking, State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, State Legal Services Authority (SLSA), WCD & SW Department, Government of West Bengal.

This project is unique in a sense that it contributes to improving Juvenile Justice System and custodial/ institutional care following minimum standards. Although, there is an intended objective of setting up replicable Child Protection Resource Centre in the State, this would perhaps set an example worth emulating in future.
• A unique resource centre on child protection established in the State having direct relevance to juvenile in conflict with law.
• Enhanced understanding among police, NGOs, District Child Protection Societies (DCPS) and NGOs working on child protection issues.

Programme Title
Creating Comm. based Safety Net for Better Health & Nutrition Outcomes for Children, Adol. & Mothers
Description
Creating Community-Based Safety Net For Better Health & Nutrition Outcomes For Children, Adolescents & Mothers Of West Bengal

A “healthy population” forms the crux of any nation and maternal health and nutrition are its foundation pillars. A healthy mother gives birth to a healthy child which helps to escape the vicious cycle of poverty and malnutrition. However, West Bengal, though has seen some promising achievements in areas of maternal and child mortalities and yet it remains high in terms of absolute numbers of maternal and child deaths due to poor care during pregnancy and access to health services post-delivery. Over hundred women in West Bengal (MMR: 113/100,000 live births, SRS 11-13) die every year due to poor access to health services and post-natal services (SRS-2009). 75.2% of deliveries happen in institutions and only 54.9% women get 1st ante- natal check-up within first trimester. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in West Bengal is 32 (SRS Sep, 2013 bulletin) i.e.; still 32 children in every 1000 live birth are dying within their first year of life. Moreover, malnutrition is another area of concern with every fourth child being low weight or under-nourished. According to NFHS 4, 32.5% children under 5 years are stunted, depicting chronic malnutrition in West Bengal.

Keeping in this context, the programme has been designed in such a manner that it focusses on developing the capacities of people so as to enable them to be conscious about their own rights and entitlements and thereby raise a demand for the same. At the same time, the programme also emphasizes on playing the key role of facilitator by providing the necessary support for strengthening the existing government services by enabling them to function more effectively and equitably. Thus the programme draws on the vision of developing “Child-Friendly Communities” (CFC) through the dynamic approach of the CINI Method which strengthens the link between the providers and the receivers in an integrated convergent manner to ensure good governance. The programme draws on the entire Life-cycle approach (LCA) and addresses the health & nutrition vulnerabilities of each stage from pregnancy, child-birth, early childhood and adolescence.
