India ICDS Reform/ICDS IV Project

Preparation Mission

September 28-October 12, 2007

Aide Memoiré

1. A World Bank mission led by Meera Shekar visited India between September 28 to

October 12, 2007, to work with the Government of India (GOI) to prepare the Bank’s proposed

support for the ICDS Reform Project. Members from DfID, UNICEF, USAID, CARE and

Micronutrient Initiative (MI) joined the mission1, and other partners were consulted as required

during the mission. A list of the partners consulted is attached in Annex 1.

2. The mission met with Ms. Deepa Jain Singh, Secretary, Ministry of Women and Child

Development (MWCD), Ms. P. Bolina, Joint Secretary, MWCD, Mr. K. Rajeswara Rao, Project

Director, MWCD and Mr. Prashant, Director, DEA, Ministry of Finance. From the Central

Project Management Unit (CPMU) of the MWCD, the mission met with: Dr. S.K. Adhikari, Asst.

Director, and Mr. Naveen Yadav, Under Secretary. The mission also actively participated in the

Workshop on “Preparation of the IDA assisted ICDS Reform/ICDS-IV Project”, organized by

MWCD and sponsored by UNICEF on October 9-10, 2007. A list of state-level partners from the

8 states as well as development partners working in ICDS consulted by the mission is included in

Annex 2.

3. The objectives of the mission were to continue policy dialogue with the GOI on the

proposed ICDS Reform Project and to review (with GOI and partners) the current state of

preparation of the project vis-à-vis:

The revised time-line for project processing

Orientation/Planning Workshop with eight short listed States and start of preparation of

central and State Project Implementation Plans (PIPs) based on final PIP guidelines.

Finalise the recruitment of the management contractor for the TSU

Evaluation of EOIs and issue of RFP for impact evaluation

Initiation of environmental and social assessments

Finalise all other draft background studies (institutional assessment, procurement

assessment, best-practices study, district mapping, ECE studies, and a time-work study)

4. Progress since Last Mission and Updated Time-line: The mission is highly

appreciative of the concerted efforts of the MWCD team in moving ahead with project

preparations. The progress and speed of preparations over the last 5-7 weeks has been exceptional

and the mission commends MWCD on this achievement. The following paragraphs list the

progress/agreements and next steps. MWCD outlined an updated time-line for project

preparation. As per this timeline, the project is expected to be appraised by the Bank in April

2008 and will be presented for Bank board approval in Aug 2008. MWCD will initiate further

steps as required for EFC/CCEA clearance before negotiations. A copy of the updated time-line is

attached in Annex 3.

1 The mission members included: Meera Shekar (Team Leader), Peter Berman, Venita Kaul and Meera

Priyadarshi (co-TTLs), Snehashish R Chowdhury, Hugo-Diaz Etchevehere, Caryn Bredenkamp, Shankar

Narayanan, Shanker Lal, Tanuj Mathur, Ruma Tavorath, and Mohini Kak (all from the World Bank), and

Silke Seco (from DfID).

5. Technical Support Units for the Central and State levels: The MWCD, World Bank,

and DFID teams jointly evaluated the eight technical proposals submitted for the “Consultancy

Services for the Establishment of Technical Support Units for the ICDS Reform Project”. Three

management firms were short listed and finalization of the selection is ongoing. The contract for

the commencement of the work is expected to be awarded shortly by the Bank as soon as

necessary clearances are obtained from MWCD and DfiD. The TSU (funded from the DfID Trust

Fund) will provide support at Central level, and the 8 short-listed states (Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttar

Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh). DfID has

also proposed that an additional Social Development specialist be added to the TSUs at central

and state levels to take forward the equity and social inclusion issues highlighted in the social

assessment. The Bank welcomes this suggestion (with additional funding from DfID); this was

discussed and agreed upon with MWCD. In due course, this will be followed-up with the selected

management firm.

6. National Workshop with short-listed states: The MWCD successfully organized a

national workshop with the 8 short-listed states. The workshop was sponsored by UNICEF. The

objectives of the workshop were:

(i) To discuss the project concept note of ICDS-IV Project and key principles of the revised

implementation framework of ICDS, which would be aligned with the proposed project;

(ii) To inform the states about GoI’s road map during the 11th Five Year Plan: Revised

implementation framework for ICDS;

(iii) To elicit the views of the participating States on the proposed project

(iv) To discuss the guidelines for the State Project Implementation Plans (PIPs) and to

finalize draft structure/components/interventions under the project; and

(v) To devise and agree on an action plan and timeline for the preparation of the project.

The outcome of the workshop was a common understanding between MWCD, the WCD

departments from the eight short-listed states, and the World Bank regarding the MWCD’s

revised implementation framework for ICDS (under which overall umbrella the IDA support will

be positioned), the 11th plan recommendations, the potential size and nature of IDA support for

ICDS, the five key reform principles on which the IDA support is premised, PIP preparation

guidelines, and the next-steps in preparing the PIPs. A strong emphasis was placed by GOI in

their guidance to the states on five key issues: a) the quality of implementation, b) moving

from “outlays to outcomes” c) flexibility in project design d) evidence-based programming

and e) targeting intensive support in the 158 identified high-burden districts across the 8

states. The districts have been selected on the basis of a careful district-mapping exercise, and

this list is now final. A copy of the workshop agenda is attached in Annex 4.

7. PIP Guidelines and State Workshops: Draft Guidelines for the central and state

PIPs were shared with MWCD and states. These will be finalised soonest based on suggestions

from states and will be distributed by MWCD to the states. MWCD also needs to communicate

to the states, soonest possible, the resource envelope for the preparation of the PIPs. The

Mission suggests to MWCD that they post 2-3 additional key personnel (including

Procurement/Financial Management) at the Central Project Management Unit (CPMU)

soonest possible to guide the preparation of the State PIPs and to prepare the central PIP. Two

options for development of State PIPs were discussed. The States may wish to prepare the PIPs

with/without consultant support. If retroactive financing is sought for these costs, procedures for

recruiting consultants should conform to World Bank procurement guidelines. States may also

3

wish to explore with other development partners, viz., USAID, CARE, UNICEF and MI all of

who have offered follow-on technical support for the preparation of the PIPs, including

organization of State/District workshops. MWCD and State officials will be in direct contact with

these organizations to follow-up. Of these 8 states, the states that prepare high quality PIPs in a

timely fashion will qualify for IDA support under the proposed project. It was reiterated that IDA

support for the states (for both nutrition and ECE) will be over and above the base-funding for

ICDS general and will focus primarily on quality strengthening, for piloting innovations and

scaling-up innovations.

It was agreed that State level workshops will be organized in each of the selected 8 states before

the initiation of the preparation of the draft State PIPs. The World Bank ICDS team will be

available to participate in these workshops to provide necessary support and guidance as feasible.

8. Nutrition Component: A menu of options for nutrition interventions was shared with

the states for their review. It was agreed that the menu is indicative and that other interventions

will be added to the list, as suggested by States as long as they are supported by evidence. It was

also reiterated that nutrition interventions will focus primarily on the “window of opportunity”

between pre-pregnancy and 2 years of life, and on micronutrient interventions. States have been

advised to work on the interventions through a consultative process.

9. Piloting innovations – including Conditional Cash Transfers: States may consider

piloting several innovations, including a Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) scheme in a few

selected districts/blocks using the State-Level Innovation Fund, to be proposed under the project.

Further guidelines based on implementation experience will be discussed with MWCD/States by

a CCT specialist in a subsequent visit to India. The value of lessons learned from the pilot

exercise can be potentially far reaching and hence the pilot will benefit from a rigorous

evaluation.

10. Early Childhood Education (ECE) Component: It was agreed that this component of

the project will be referred to as Early Childhood Education (ECE). A menu of proposed

interventions for ECE (at central and state/district levels the project districts) was shared with

states for their review. It was agreed that the assessment and evaluation of ECE would be better

suited at the state level. While the need for a specially trained facilitator for ECE was to be

emphasized, states will explore and propose different options to ensure this provision.

11. Technical Studies: Findings of the following background studies were shared during the

workshop, for discussion and comments:

a. District Mapping Study – Selection of high-burden districts based on nutrition indices

b. Best Practices in ICDS

c. Procurement Capacity Assessment

d. Time/work study of AWWs

12. Procurement: The findings of the procurement capacity assessment conducted by the

consultant hired by the Bank were discussed with MWCD and States during the mission. The

major issues that require immediate attention are as follows:

Skilled procurement staff must be in place at CPMU and SPMU levels

A procurement manual will need to be developed by MWCD to guide the decentralized

procurement to maintain uniformity in approach

The financial delegations need to be reviewed and modified so that procurement

decisions are taken in a timely manner to reduce the overall time taken for procurement

4

Internal/external procurement audits need to be strengthened

Storage facilities for supplies need to be strengthened wherever needed and sufficient

budgets need to be provided for transportation

Procurement record keeping and MIS need to be improved

A complaint handling mechanism needs to be developed at all the levels.

A procurement plan needs to be developed and monitored at all the levels.

The proposed arrangements on these issues will need to be included in the procurement chapter of

the central and state PIPs.

The Bank also shared with MWCD its concerns regarding the quality standards (Revised

Schedule M) for procurement of pharmaceuticals and informed MWCD that until the

implementation of schedule M is strengthened in a manner acceptable to the Bank by the Ministry

of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, pharmaceutical products can only be procured

through International Competitive Bidding (ICB) applying WHO GMP criteria. Procurement

support agencies (PSA) are not to be used for IDA procurement.

13. Follow-up procurement-related actions to be completed before appraisal: The

following procurement-related actions will be required to be completed before project appraisal:

Preparation of a Procurement Plan for first 18 months covering goods, works and

consultancy services to be procured under the project

Preparation of a Procurement Manual for the project including SBD, procurement of

services, contract management, store management etc. MWCD has a draft manual that

may be used as a starting point.

Positioning of at least one dedicated procurement staff at CPMU

Preparation of bid documents/Request for proposal (RFP) documents for the critical

procurement to be taken up at CPMU level

Preparation of procurement chapter of PIP including the proposed procurement

arrangements along with the institutional and decision making structures at all the levels

and the cost table (viz. who will procure what and when)

Mr. Shanker Lal (WB Procurement Specialist) will be available for all procurement-related

discussions/guidance with MWCD/States.

14. Institutional Issues: A review of the Institutional Assessment of ICDS Program

Arrangements was completed by a consultant recruited by the Bank. Key findings from the study,

as well as lessons from the WCD and APERP projects were shared with the states.

15. Assessment of the Financial Management arrangements: The mission was informed

by MWCD that the next phase of ICDS will be implemented through the state and district level

societies and detailed information on this will be available in the Revised ICDS Implementation

Framework, which is expected to be finalized by MWCD shortly. The Bank team will study the

proposed implementation arrangements once precise information on these structures is

made available by MWCD. As part of the preparation process, an assessment of the FM

arrangements for the project will be conducted by the Bank. This will cover aspects relating

to funds flow, accounting, auditing, staff capacity etc. The review would be started in November

07 and would cover a sample of 2 – 3 states2 to enable evaluation of the implementation issues.

The review will include (a) collection of information on all the eight states through a

questionnaire (b) visits to states. The Terms of Reference for the review will be shared with

MWCD by end October 07. Further, a Financial Management Manual for the project will

2 Possible states will be Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh

5

need to be prepared by the MWCD by appraisal. This manual will serve as a useful reference

document for the implementing states and will assist the MWCD in effective monitoring. Work

on preparation of the document should start immediately to ensure that the same is finalized well

in time for appraisal. Therefore the first draft of the FMM will need to be ready for discussion

during the pre-appraisal mission. Mr. Tanuj Mathur, Sr. FM specialist from the Bank is

available for any follow-up consultations as needed.

16. Outstanding Audit Issues: The following audit reports under the earlier Women and

Child Development Project (P035827/ Cr. N0420-In) have not been received by the Bank till

date. As per the Bank Policies3 until acceptable audited financial statements are received, the

Bank normally delays negotiations or Board presentation of any new loans benefiting the

implementing entity. Therefore MWCD needs to ensure that the 7 outstanding reports are

submitted to the Bank at the earliest; a list is attached below:

a. Dept. of Woman & Child (05-06)

b. Udisha Nagaland (05-06)

c. Govt. of Orissa (04-05 and 05-06)

d. Udisha Lakshadweep (03-04 and 04-05)

e. Udisha Jammu & Kashmir (04-05)

17. Evaluation Strategy: Following the comments from the MWCD, the draft TORs for

hiring a research agency have been revised and are being submitted to MWCD for a final

clearance. The key objective of this assignment is to provide technical support to MWCD to (i)

develop a comprehensive evaluation plan for the duration of project implementation, and (ii)

develop an appropriate sampling methodology and evaluation tools to be used during the baseline

survey. These tools alongwith the sampling methodology once agreed between the Bank and

MWCD and reviewed with the project States will be used in the baseline survey by the research

agencies. Further technical assistance for the data analysis will be discussed at a later date as

needed. The evaluation plan and survey tools will be made available to MWCD by May 31,

2008.

18. M&E Workshop: MWCD has proposed to organize a Monitoring and Evaluation

workshop in Dec 2007/Jan 2008 to which all states, development partners, experts, etc will be

invited. The objective will be to stimulate thinking about M&E related issues for the development

of state and district PIPs, and also share technical and operational experience related to M&E in

ICDS. It will include presentations by national and international experts, as well as officials and

NGOs who have been involved in “best practice” activities in ICDS. There will also be sessions

on community-monitoring, the Results Framework and the baseline survey.

19. Results Framework: The Draft Results Framework for the ICDS Reform project

(developed during the previous mission) was further refined after discussions with the states at

the State workshop. A draft Annex 3 for the PAD was created, specifying the Results

implementation arrangements, and data sources for all current indicators is attached in Annex 6 of

this aide memoire. This will be further refined during the proposed M&E workshop. The mission

reiterated that as an IDA 14/15 requirement, updated baseline data for the results framework must

be available within six months of project approval. The Bank and other development partners are

jointly reviewing the proposed revised MIS formats and is in the process of submitting detailed

comments to GOI on the same.. These revisions are expected to be finalized before appraisal.

Statements’

20. Community-monitoring and social audits and Accreditation of AWCs: The mission

suggests that community monitoring become an important component of the M&E plans

for the project. A background paper on social audits and an operationally-focused 3-page paper

has been prepared by the Bank team. Copies of these were shared with MWCD and with the State

teams as an input in to State PIPs and district plans. The Bank team will make available

additional information on this issue on-line for use by the states/districts. The mission was

informed by MWCD that AWC accreditation is already being practiced by some states and will

be further refined and scaled-up to national level. A detailed proposal is awaited under the

national PIP component. These will include incentives and rewards, surprise inspection visits and

publication of performance of AWCs in local media/newspapers.

21. Annual Health Surveys: The mission was informed that the Registrar-General’s office

will implement an Annual Health Survey (funded by MoHFW) that will cover the 9 EAG states.

It will be a fixed panel survey, representative at the district level, and is planned for an initial

period of 7 years. Fieldwork for the first round is expected to commence in April 2008, and the

first results are expected to be available (in published form) one year later. MWCD (through the

Food and Nutrition Board) has been asked to give inputs. Nutritional status and feeding behavior-

related indicators will be included. The mission was informed that the Planning Commission will

conduct a countrywide impact evaluation of ICDS, as stipulated under the Xth-XIth five year

plan. The Program Evaluation Organization (PEO) is in charge. Sampling has been done, but data

collection agencies are yet to be hired. The evaluation plan for the project should keep this

information in mind to ensure synergies.

22. Social Development and safeguard issues: A large number of the project districts have

large tribal populations; therefore, World Bank Operational Policy 4.10 on Indigenous (Tribal)

peoples will apply. In accordance with the policy, the project would need to ensure that tribal

communities have a voice in project design and implementation through a process of “free, prior

and informed consultation”, that there are effective grievance redress mechanisms in place and a

Tribal Development Plan/Strategy is prepared outlining how the project would ensure effective

inclusion of tribal communities. MWCD needs to submit to the Bank for approval, soonest

possible, TORs for the development of a Tribal Development Plan/strategy. Once the TOR is

cleared, the strategy needs to be developed soonest. This plan will have to be reviewed by the

Bank prior to the Appraisal mission. If construction of Anganwadi centers calls for land

acquisition that result in involuntary resettlement, the World Bank Operational Policy 4.12 on

Involuntary Resettlement will also be applicable. Efforts should be made to avoid involuntary

resettlement to the extent possible. If unavoidable, then the effort should be to minimize

displacement, to treat resettlement as a development program by providing affected people

opportunities for improving their incomes and standard of living or at least to restore them and to

pay compensation for all affected assets at replacement cost. All of this information, summarized

in the form of a Resettlement Action Plan or framework that will be reviewed by the Bank prior to

the Appraisal mission. Copies of both these Operational Policies and related Bank procedures are

attached in Annex 7 and should be shared by MWCD with all participating States and

implementing agencies to make them aware of specific procedures to be followed to comply with

the requirements.

23. Social Assessment: To strengthen the design and implementation of the ICDS reform

process by providing relevant social analysis that promotes equity and social inclusion at all

levels of the program, a Social Assessment consultancy has been planned with DFID support. A

draft Terms of Reference (ToR) developed jointly by the Bank and DfID has been shared with

MWCD. To ensure that the Social Assessment focuses on the most pertinent issues and comes up

7

with operationally relevant recommendations, the mission requests detailed inputs into the ToR

and design of this exercise. Effective ways of helping the ICDS program reach out to traditionally

excluded sections of the community is a key aspect of the reform process and a well designed and

implemented Social Assessment that is carefully managed by MWCD and participating State

level entities can be an important first step in this direction.

24. Environment safeguards: In accordance with World Bank’s Operational Policy OP

4.01, the proposed project has been classified as Category B. The environmental dimensions of

the project are linked with the construction and use of Anganwadi centres. These issues include

construction and design issues (including drainage, ventilation and lighting, safe building

materials etc), provision of safe potable water (particularly in arsenic and fluoride prone areas),

hygiene practices with regard to cooking, sanitation and cleanliness, location-related issues and

construction related impacts. By appraisal, the MWCD will need to undertake a desk review

which will assess current situation, based on existing assessment reports and state reviews

(e.g. the Facility Survey by NCAER, the Andhra Pradesh review of AWC construction, and other

existing studies). This will provide an understanding of the shortcomings and gaps in

construction, operation and maintenance of Anganwandi centres. Based on the above review, an

Environmental Management Framework (EMF) will be developed. The EMF will incorporate an

Action Plan which will include implementation protocols for awareness and training for the

community on good hygiene practices and necessity to provide safe and clean environment for

children, maintenance of Anganwadi centres, supervision, monitoring and reporting. Management

of waste during construction activities will also be detailed. The EMF will be prepared in such a

manner that these protocols can be incorporated into guideline documents, bidding/ contractual

documents and communication strategies for villages and communities and in the PAD and the

PIPs with appropriate budget lines. Appropriate legal requirements should also be included by

MWCD into the bid documents for construction contractors, wherever applicable. The EMF

including the Action Plan is the borrowers’ responsibility, and will need to be prepared,

reviewed and cleared by the Bank and disclosed in-country before the project can proceed

for Appraisal. More details on the Environmental Assessment are included in Annex 7. MWCD

has further confirmed that only small buildings with 1000-3000 Sq.ft. (AWCs and CDPO Offices

respectively) will be financed under the project. State PWD/RD Code/manual, as relevant, would

be followed strictly in the construction.

25. De-Brief with Development Partners: At the end of the mission, a de-brief was also

organized with development partners on the status of preparation of the ICDS Reform project.

This included a session on the forthcoming launch of the Lancet Series on Nutrition.

26. Readiness filters: The project readiness filters were discussed with MWCD. The next

technical mission is scheduled for end January/early February 2008. In the interim, relevant

mission members will be available for State PIP workshops and the M&E workshop as and when

scheduled/feasible.

27. Development partners in the proposed project: DfiD has joined all Bank ICDS

missions to-date, has financed many of the background studies for project preparation, and has

expressed an interest in staying engaged in ICDS. UNICEF, USAID, CARE and MI have all

expressed continued interest in being technical partners in the development of the project and will

be available to support the states in the development of the PIPs as needed. The mission is highly

appreciative of the tremendous level of support from all partners, under the guidance of MWCD.

ANNEXURE 6

Results Framework

ICDS Reform Program

DRAFT

Output of Preparation Mission, Jan-Feb 2007

This is a (revised) preliminary Results Framework that builds upon the Results Framework

developed during the Jan-Feb 2007 Preparation Mission of the ICDS IV Reform Program. It

incorporates suggestions made during the October Preparation Mission and the October

Consultative Workshop. It will be further refined during an M&E workshop for project states to

be held in Nov/Dec 2007.

Eventually, and in line with recommendations, the number of indicators will be reduced to

approximately 10-12 key outcome and output indicators that are closely related to the attainment

of the PDOs. In addition, one or two key input or process indicators of items that are crucial for

project implementation may be included. Some additional indicators may need to be added to

capture a potential component on capacity-building, including M&E, institutional capacity and

IEC. Key indicators need to be disaggregate by SC, ST and poor/non-poor.

PDO / OUTCOME Indicator

The PDO is twofold:

(i) To enhance awareness and

adoption of appropriate

feeding and caring

behaviors, and expand the

utilization of nutrition

services by parents of

children aged 0-3 years;

and

(ii) To improve early child

education outcomes and

school readiness for

children 3-6 years old

in selected high-burden

districts/states

For PDO (i)

Awareness:

% women know that their children should be breastfed exclusively for 6

mths

% women know that complementary foods should be introduced at

about 6 mths

% mothers know that her child needs Vitamin A dose every 6 mths

% mothers aware that her child should receive ORS during diarrhoea

% mothers aware that she needs 3 antenatal care visits during pregnancy

Service Utilization and Behaviors:

% children aged 6-72mths who were exclusively breastfed for 6 mths

% children whose mothers initiated their breastfeeding within 1 hour of

delivery

% children receiving semi-solids around 6 mths of age

% mothers that brought children aged 0-36 months to the anganwadi for

growth monitoring and promotion in the previous month

% mothers that consumed at least 100 IFA tablets during pregnancy

For PDO (ii)

% children in the community, aged 30-6 years, enrolled in ECE

% children enrolled in ECE that attend the anganwadi’s ECE program

for the mandated minimum opening time, i.e at least 16 days per month

Percentage of children (of those attending ECE or of those enrolled in

ECE) aged 3-6 years (or 5-6 years) that are evaluated as school ready

Percentage of children of school-ready age that graduated to primary

school

26

Intermediate Outcome / OUTPUT Intermediate Outcome/OUTPUT Indicators

Related to Nutrition component:

Improved delivery of ICDS health

and nutrition services to pregnant

women and children aged 0-3

months

framework for health and nutrition

% anganwadis that held growth-monitoring and promotion sessions for

children under 3 in the previous month

% anganwadis that conducted a Health and Nutrition Day in the

previous month

Mean number of home visits conducted by the anganwadi worker the

previous month

% anganwadi workers that received a visit by the supervisor within the
