Project Background:

The Global Alliance for Viksit Bharat (GAVB) is a landmark social development initiative designed to uplift 200 million Indians living in multidimensional poverty. With a transformative investment, GAVB concentrates efforts on five priority states—Jharkhand, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Bihar (JACOB states)—which are disproportionately impacted by acute poverty. Health and Education account for 67% of the Multi-dimensional Poverty Index (MDPI). GAVB works closely with state governments to strengthen public health systems, improve service delivery, and enhance community wellbeing. The Communicable Disease (CD) portfolio specifically addresses Tuberculosis (TB) and Malaria—two diseases that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations including tribal communities, urban poor, and migrant workers. GAVB's approach leverages Digitization, Decentralization, Leadership & Institutions, and Inclusion to enhance health service delivery. Domain expertise with proven solutions lays the foundation for introduction, progression, and gradual integration of innovations into government public health systems. As states prepare to accelerate efforts as a part of GAVB, there is a need to develop a nuanced understanding of the current status of service delivery systems, implementation readiness, and context-specific challenges before introducing new interventions.
