CONTENT OF TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT 

BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:

India is committed to achieving the maternal and newborn health targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDG 2030 goals entail a reduction of maternal mortality to below 70 per 100,000 live births from the current level of 97 per 100,000 live births as per SRS data. In addition, reduction of neonatal mortality rate to below 12 newborn deaths per 1000 live births from current 20 newborn deaths per thousand live births is a major target. It is estimated that approximately 46% maternal deaths, over 40% stillbirths and 40% newborn deaths take place on the day of the delivery. Investment on the day of birth leads to triple returns in terms of reductions in stillbirth rates as well as maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity. A transformational change in the processes related to the care during the delivery, which essentially relates to intrapartum and immediate postpartum care, is required to achieve tangible results.

Government of India is putting substantial efforts to improve the quality of care and ensure respectful care to pregnant women and their babies. UNICEF is one of the key partners supporting MoHFW for improving the quality-of-care services for maternal health and newborn health with special focus on girl child survival. The services of individual consultant/ enabler will be desired for roll out of the above deliverables which was agreed by UNICEF in RWP 2023-24.
