"is an interdisciplinary funding, research and resource centre focused on the health and nutrition of vulnerable women, infants and young children across India. Building on the work of the Early Child Health Practice of ICICI Bank’s Social Initiatives Group (SIG), ICCHN is one of a number of institutional initiatives [www.icicifoundation.org] committed to building human capacity, increasing participation and promoting human development in India. Child survival and early child development are among the most significant and urgent challenges facing India today. High levels of child deaths persist in many parts of the country, due primarily to diarrhoea, pneumonia, and conditions in the neonatal period – most of which are preventable. Chronic and widespread undernutrition, expressed in indicators such as low birth weight and childhood stunting, is a crucial underlying determinant of child mortality. Stunting in these early years also seriously compromises the achievement of developmental potential in later life, affecting a vast number of Indians across their lifecycles and playing an important part in the intergenerational transmission of poverty. At an estimated 30 percent, India has the second highest incidence of low birth weight in the world and over fifty percent of Indian children are malnourished by the age of three. In this context, ICCHN supports and works collaboratively on a range of initiatives with potential to translate into large-scale and sustainable improvements in child survival and development in India. Based in Pune, ICCHN’s team is engaged in field-based action-research projects in different regions of the country, facilitates state-civil society resource partnerships to strengthen public systems and programmes, and develops a variety of knowledge, policy and capacity building initiatives to address key sectoral gaps. Through our work, we seek to deepen the understanding of the complex determinants of child mortality and malnutrition in India, contribute to the development of innovative and effective strategies to address them, and strengthen local communities, civil society institutions, and public health systems to decentralize access to and ownership of the knowledge and essential services needed to bring about sustainable change.
