No I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING Project Status: 1. The USD 200 million ICDS Systems Strengthening and Nutrition Improvement Project (ISSNIP) was approved on March 30, 2018 and became effective on June 18, 2018. The closing date is August 30, 2022. The project has disbursed USD 119.93 million (59.9%) as on September 30, 2021. The Project is a results-based investment project financing operation, disbursing against the achievement of 8 Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs), measured by milestones of progress or DLI targets. 2. At mid-term in March 2021, progress in achieving the Project Development Objectives (PDOs) and project implementation progress have both been rated as “moderately unsatisfactory”. While significant progress and scale up of project interventions was noted in the first 1.5 years of implementation, roll out has slowed down dramatically in the past 1 year. This is primarily due to a dual impact of COVID-19 that led to the closure of ICDS services (with the exception of home delivery of take-home rations to beneficiaries and home visits) and a strategy refresh by the new leadership at the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) resulting in changes to the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based management and monitoring system. Thus, while all PDO indicators were on track to being achieved a year ago, the protracted implementation delays over the year and limited re-initiation of project interventions after lifting of the COVID-19 lockdown, have contributed to a ‘moderately unsatisfactory’ rating. Correspondingly, implementation progress (IP) is also rated ‘moderately unsatisfactory’ at mid-term. 3. Achievements prior to the slow down indicate project interventions were well designed and demonstrating improvements in service delivery and quality as planned. All PDO indicators were on track, five of the 11 intermediate result indicators had exceeded targets and the remaining 6 were on track. The project had reached approximately 59.5 million pregnant and lactating women and children under 3 years of age with ICDS services just achieving Year 2 targets. Approximately 81% Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) were undertaking the minimum mandated home visits for maternal and child nutrition counselling to target households and 45.9% of Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) were delivering a minimum set of services1 at the AWC exceeding Year 2 targets for these PDO indicators. The data for the minimum set of services, including home visits, was from the 6.06 lakh Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) across 24 States where the ICDS Common Application Software (ICDS-CAS) had been rolled out. A telephone survey undertaken as part of the Mid-Term Review also indicated a positive movement in nutrition practices, reflecting the likely achievement of two most critical PDO indicators2. 1 Take-home rations for at least 21 days, growth monitoring (weight) for at least 60 percent children under 3 years of age, and village health, and nutrition day (VHND). 2 PDO indicators: Percentage of children age 6-8 months receiving solid or semi-solid food and breastmilk; and Percentage of children 6-23 months of age who receive foods from 4 or more food groups. A telephone survey was undertaken by the World Bank in collaboration with the MWCD as part of the Mid Term Review (MTR). This data is based The World Bank India: ICDS Systems Strengthening & Nutrition Improvement Program (ISSNIP) (P121731) Rationale for a Restructuring: 4. As mentioned above, over the past year, implementation delays due to administrative hurdles have been further exacerbated because of COVID-19, resulting in negligible implementation progress. Furthermore, leadership at the MWCD has changed and has initiated a strategy refresh which has resulted in changes to ICT based management and monitoring system. Several changes in in program interventions are therefore being introduced which necessitate a restructuring of the project to align with the updated strategy. 5. The updated program strategy includes the following modifications: a. ICT management and monitoring system: To incorporate some of the lessons learnt during the first few years of implementing the ICDS-Common Application Software (CAS), a mobile based management and monitoring application scaled up under the POSHAN Abhiyaan, the MWCD has developed and is rolling out an enhanced version of the application. Called POSHAN Tracker, the new application is: (i) fully developed and managed by the National e-Governance Division (NeGD) of the Government of India, replacing the ICDS-CAS which was developed through a collaboration with development partners who also supported its roll out through capacity building on the application; (ii) includes a data quality audit element, which was a key weakness of the ICDS-CAS and (iii) data to be publicly available, which was an issue with the ICDS-CAS data. This revision in the program strategy will also be applicable to the two pending DLI targets (DLI 1.2 and 1.3) related to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based management and monitoring for improved service delivery for the state of Uttar Pradesh under ICDS Systems Strengthening and Nutrition Improvement Project (Credit No. 5150-IN). b. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM): The MWCD had operationalized a Citizens Engagement and Grievance Redress (CE&GR) call center in November 2019 which had dual functionality of outgoing calls to beneficiaries and AWWs as well as a toll-free number for citizens to call-in and record grievances and feedback. Given the limited capacity to manage a separate call center, the MWCD is streamlining this system by integrating GRM function within the POSHAN Tracker and using it as an enhanced CE&GR platform. This would enable the CE&GR platform to be integrated within the POSHAN Tracker system and not be a parallel structure. c. Capacity Building: The Incremental Learning Approach (ILA) is a capacity building approach under the POSHAN Abhiyaan, in which learning is broken down into small portions of doable actions until all skills, understanding and actions related to maternal, infant and young child nutrition have been put into regular practice and internalised by the functionaries. This approach is a departure from the traditional style of training, where bulk content would be disseminated to the trainees/Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) over a continuous period of 7-10 days. Under ILA, the AWWs are oriented on one topic every month, followed by a month of practice to follow-up on actions. The MWCD seeks to adapt and build on the ILA approach to include other teaching and learning approaches including the virtual modality for further enhancement. This will contribute to a change in the nomenclature of the ‘IL’ to a broader ‘Capacity Building’ approach. d. Convergent Nutrition Actions: This component focused on convergence between key departments to identify actions for improved nutrition outcomes at block, district and state levels. Based on the implementation on the Survey Findings, the final report for which is undergoing review. The World Bank India: ICDS Systems Strengthening & Nutrition Improvement Program (ISSNIP) (P121731) experience it was found that the focus so far had primarily been on the development of convergent action plans and not the process of convergence and actions to improve nutrition outcomes. The MWCD thus proposes to modify this approach to a feasible and results oriented approach and also encourage states and provide flexibility for more rigorous and focused innovations for improving nutrition outcomes in the states. e. Monitoring and Evaluation: To further build on the program monitoring component, which includes the roll out and use of the POSHAN Tracker, the MWCD proposes to develop and implement a National Nutrition Index (NNI) in place of Annual Nutrition Surveys. The proposed index will measure the annual performance of states and UTs on a variety of indicators, including nutrition outcomes, service coverage, governance and program inputs. The index aims to nudge states towards transformative action in the nutrition sector, by instilling a sense of competition and achievement. In the first phase, the NNI will be derived using data from the POSHAN Tracker and in subsequent phases data available through surveys or assessments or an improved version of POSHAN Tracker could be used. The above modifications require both revisions in DLIs and DLI targets associated with these changes. This was discussed extensively during the MTR held in March 2021 and a request for restructuring to reflect these changes was sent by the MWCD (via letter no. WBP/4/2017-WBP (E-33670) dated April 13, 2021) to the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministry of Finance (MoF), Govt of India, and subsequently shared with the World Bank for relevant action by the DEA, MoF, GoI (via letter no F.No. 07/27/2015-FB.V dated June 2, 2021). The proposed modifications are aligned with the PDO and not expected to lead to its change. II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES 6. The proposed restructuring will include the following changes for National Nutrition Mission (also known as Additional Financing for the ICDS Systems Strengthening and Nutrition Improvement Project) (Loan No. 8839-IN):  Revision of DLI targets: To reflect the changes brought about with the introduction of the POSHAN Tracker, the modified GRM and capacity building (IL) approach, several DLIs will be reworded to include the reference to the ‘POSHAN Tracker’, ‘Grievance Redress Mechanism’ and ‘Capacity Building’ instead of the ICDS-CAS, GRM and IL respectively. These include DLI target 1.3, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 3.3.  Updating of DLI verification protocols: Similarly, verification protocols for an additional five DLI targets (1.4, 1.5, 4.5, 6.3 and 8.2) will need to be revised to reflect POSHAN Tracker as the data source, as these are currently based on ICDS-CAS.  Cancelation of select DLI targets: Due to implementation delays and lags due to the COVID-19 pandemic and also because of the transition in the POSHAN Abhiyaan strategy, 10 DLI targets linked to the ICDS service delivery, performance-based incentives for AWWs, GRM and monitoring and evaluation are unlikely to be achieved by project closing. Funds linked to these DLI targets will be reallocated towards the new results indicators to support the MWCD’s updated strategy and serve as the building blocks of the program. These include DLI targets 1.6, 3.4, 3.5, 5.3, 6.5 (partially)3, 7.3, 7.4, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5. 3 This DLI target is being partially cancelled as disbursement has already been made for 2 out of 11 priority states; more details provided under DLI 6 The World Bank India: ICDS Systems Strengthening & Nutrition Improvement Program (ISSNIP) (P121731)  Introduction of new results indicators: New DLI targets in support of new interventions introduced under the updated POSHAN Strategy are being added. These include new DLI targets 1.6, 6.5, 7.3 and 8.3 and are mainly related to: (a) introduction of a data verification mechanism to support quality improvement of the POSHAN Tracker; (b) strengthening POSHAN Tracker to include auto-generation of list of AWWs eligible for performance incentives; (c) development of guidelines/framework for innovations in nutrition to support the Convergent Nutrition Actions component; and (d) launch of an annual National Nutrition Index. The new DLI targets are expected to help develop systems to deliver more effectively on the nutrition and ICDS services during and beyond the project period.  Revision of results framework: The RF indicators are proposed to be revised to reflect POSHAN Tracker in place of ICDS-CAS and the modified capacity building (IL) approach; targets for these indicators are not proposed to be revised. Two PDO indicators and 10 intermediate indicators are proposed to be revised in terms of their definitions. 7. The proposed restructuring will also include the following changes for the ICDS Systems Strengthening and Nutrition Improvement Project (Credit No. 5150-IN): Two ICT related DLI targets (DLIs 1.2 and 1.3) related to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based management and monitoring for improved service delivery of the original project also need to be revised as these were dependent on the ICDS-CAS. The only state which could not achieve these DLI targets is Uttar Pradesh. With the launch of the POSHAN Tracker, verification protocol for these DLI targets need to be revised to reflect the roll out of the POSHAN Tracker. 8. Components Scope and Costs for the National Nutrition Mission (also known as Additional Financing for the ICDS Systems Strengthening and Nutrition Improvement Project (Loan No. 8839-IN): This section provides details on the revision of scope and cost of each component based on the above proposed changes under the project. Component 1: ICDS Institutional and Systems Strengthening:  DLI 1: ICT-based management and monitoring system strengthened, contributing to improved service delivery: DLI targets under this results area are being revised to reflect the: (i) change from ICDS-CAS to POSHAN Tracker, (ii) cancellation of targets due to truncated timelines; and (iii) the introduction of a new data quality mechanism. o DLI Targets Revised: The following DLI targets have been proposed to be revised:  DLI 1.3: “Each Priority State has signed the contracts for ICT hardware, growth monitoring devices, and supporting consulting and non-consulting services in accordance with ICDS-CAS guidelines” will be restated as “Each Priority State has signed the contracts for ICT hardware (smartphones), growth monitoring devices, and supporting consulting (state, district and block consultants to support POSHAN Abhiyaan implementation) and non-consulting services (data services) to support POSHAN Tracker roll out”.  DL1 1. 4: “At least 60% of AWWs in the Participating Districts in each respective Priority State have been trained on the ICT-based management, monitoring, and communication system in accordance with the Training Plan” will remain the same; however, the verification protocol will be revised to reflect training on POSHAN Tracker. The World Bank India: ICDS Systems Strengthening & Nutrition Improvement Program (ISSNIP) (P121731)  DLI 1.5: “At least 40% of AWCs in the Participating Districts in each respective Priority State have delivered a minimum set of services4 every month for a consecutive period of six months” has been achieved for one state, Tamil Nadu. For the remaining ten Priority States, verification protocols for this DLI target will be revised to reflect use of POSHAN Tracker to achieve this DLI target. o DLI Targets Cancelled: the following existing DLI target has been cancelled:  DLI 1.6: “At least 50% of AWCs in the Participating Districts in each respective State have delivered a minimum set of services every month for any consecutive period of twelve months after the achievement of DLI target 1.5” will be cancelled [DLI 1.5 is “at least 40% of AWCs in the Participating Districts in each respective Priority State have delivered a minimum set of services every month for a consecutive period of six months” and only one Priority State, Tamil Nadu, has achieved this till date]. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing transition from ICDS-CAS to POSHAN Tracker, and hence it is unlikely that this target will be met by Priority States in the project duration. o Introduction of New DLI Targets: the following new DLI target has been added:  DLI 1.6: “A system for verification of POSHAN tracker data to be established and operational for at least one quarter” has been introduced as a new DLI, to reflect the focus on data quality. The proposed new DLI target will require the development of a data verification system for the newly launched POSHAN Tracker. This would be an automated data verification system launched centrally through the POSHAN Tracker and would automatically generate triggers on data quality issues and provide a framework for course correction. The helps institutionalize a verification mechanism as a part of the monitoring system. An amount of USD 8.89 million will be allocated to this new DLI.

TOTAL 30,972,000 TOTAL 30,972,000  DLI 3: Grievance redress mechanism for improved citizen engagement strengthened: DLI targets under this results area are being revised to: (i) reflect the modified GRM approach as explained in the section under rationale for restructuring; and (ii) cancellation of targets and associated DLI values due to truncated timelines. o DLI Targets Revised: The following DLI target has been proposed to be revised:  DLI 3.3: “Each Priority State has put in place a functional grievance redress system as per the standard operating procedures” will be restated as “Each Priority State has put in place a functional grievance redress system as per the standard operating procedures, and is operational for at least one quarter”. The MWCD is streamlining its GRM system by integrating these functions within the POSHAN Tracker and using it as an enhanced CE&GR platform. The system would be tracked for being operational for a quarter and expected to continue as it is linked to the MWCD’s comprehensive POSHAN Tracker platform. o DLI Targets Cancelled: the following existing DLI targets have been cancelled:  DLI 3.4: “Each Priority State has responded to at least 40% grievances registered in its grievance redress system within business standards as defined in the standard operating procedures over a consecutive six-month period”. Since this DLI target is dependent on the achievement of DLI 3.3, which is being revised and take some time to achieve, it would be difficult to achieve this DLI target 3.4. Therefore, it is proposed to cancel this DLI target.  DLI 3.5: “Each Priority State has responded to at least 50% grievances registered in its grievance redress system within business standards as defined in the standard operating procedures, over any consecutive period of six months after the period of achievement of DLI target 3.4”. Since this DLI target is dependent on achievement of the preceding DLI target 3.4, it is difficult to achieve this DLI target. Therefore, it is proposed to cancel this DLI target.

Component 2: Community Mobilization and Behavior Change Communication: While there is no modification under the Community Mobilization and Behavior Change Communication program component, one DLI target under this results area is being revised (i.e., the duration for which the result is to be measured is being reduced) due to implementation delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  DLI 4: Community mobilization for nutrition behavior change strengthened: o DLI Targets Revised: The following DLI target has been proposed to be revised:  DLI 4.5: “At least 50% of AWWs from the Participating Districts in each Priority State meet at least 60% of their targeted number of home visits to pregnant/lactating women and children under 3 years every month for a consecutive period of 12 months” has been achieved by one state and is unlikely to be achieved by remaining 10 priority states, as the verification protocol of this DLI is linked to ICDS-CAS. For the remaining ten priority states, this DLI target will be restated as “At least 50% of AWWs from the Participating Districts in each Priority State meet at least 60% of their targeted number of home visits to pregnant/lactating women and children under 3 years every month for a consecutive period of 3 months (1 quarter)” and its protocol would be revised to link it to the POSHAN Tracker. Moreover, the definition of the DLI target has been revised (duration reduced from 12 to 3 months) to facilitate achievement of DLI target during the project period as The World Bank India: ICDS Systems Strengthening & Nutrition Improvement Program (ISSNIP) (P121731) there were implementation delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and transition to the POSHAN Tracker system. Note: There is no change in allocated budget against these DLI targets.

The World Bank India: ICDS Systems Strengthening & Nutrition Improvement Program (ISSNIP) (P121731)  DLI 5: Mass and mid-media campaigns reinforcing nutrition behavior change implemented: While there is no modification in the mass and mid media strategy for nutrition behavior change, one DLI target under this results area is being cancelled due to likely non-achievement due to implementation delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. o DLI Targets Cancelled: the following existing DLI target has been cancelled:  DLI 5.3: MWCD has deployed second round of mass media (TV and radio campaigns) as per media plan. This DLI target is not expected to be met given the implementation delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and with the desired continuity. Therefore, this DLI target will be cancelled.

Component 3: Performance Based Incentives  DLI 6: ICDS functionaries achieve milestones for receiving performance-based incentives: DLI targets under this results area are being revised to reflect the: (i) cancellation of DLI targets not expected to be achieved due to implementation delays caused by the transition from ICDS-CAS to the POSHAN Tracker; and (ii) the introduction of a new DLI to continue the program focus on performance-based incentives. o DLI Targets Cancelled (partially): the following existing DLI target has been cancelled partially:  DLI 6.5: “At least 40% AWWs in each Priority State received their monthly performance-based incentive at least four times in any consecutive six-month period after the period of achievement of DLI target 6.3”. Only the states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have been able to achieve this DLI target. Further, since this DLI target is dependent on achievement of the preceding DLI target 6.3, which the remaining 9 priority states are yet to achieve, it is unlikely that this DLI target The World Bank India: ICDS Systems Strengthening & Nutrition Improvement Program (ISSNIP) (P121731) will be met by project closing. This DLI was linked to and measured through the ICDS-CAS. However, with the replacement of the ICDS-CAS with POSHAN Tracker, there is going to be a time lag in its re-initiation, and it is highly probable that the pending Priority States are able to achieve only the DLI target 6.3 (at least 20% AWWs in each Priority State received their monthly performance-based incentive at least four times in a consecutive six-month period) and not DLI target 6.5 which is dependent on the achievement of DLI target 6.3. Therefore, it is proposed to cancel the amount allocated to this DLI target for the remaining 9 Priority States. o Introduction of New DLI Target: the following new DLI target has been added:  DLI 6.6: “POSHAN Tracker to include a module to auto-generate list of AWWs eligible for performance incentives” has to be introduced to reflect the continued program focus on performance-based incentives. The proposed new DLI target will require the POSHAN Tracker to include a module for tracking performance incentives for the AWWs. This new DLI target would ensure that the state governments continue to get a list of AWWs eligible for performance incentives, and this too gets integrated in the POSHAN Tracker platform. This will help in achieving pending DLI target 6.3. An amount of USD 8.53 million will be allocated to this new DLI.

Component 4: Convergent Nutrition Actions (CNA)  DLI 7: Convergent nutrition action plans developed and operationalized: DLI targets under this results area are being revised to reflect the: (i) cancellation of DLI targets not expected to be achieved due to a change in CNA strategy; and (ii) the introduction of a new DLI to reflect an enhanced focus on innovations for convergence/nutrition outcomes to enhance this agenda. o DLI Targets Cancelled: the following existing DLI targets have been cancelled:  DLI 7.3: MWCD has reviewed implementation progress of convergent nutrition action plans and innovations therein at the national level at the end of the first year of implementation of the plan.  DLI 7.4: MWCD has assessed, documented, and disseminated best practices from implementation of the convergent nutrition action plans and innovations therein for learning. o Introduction of New DLI Targets: the following new DLI target has been added:  DLI 7.3: “MWCD issued guidance on planning and implementation of innovations to improve nutrition outcomes”, has been introduced, which reflects that MWCD is laying emphasis on innovations to identify potential solutions to improve nutrition outcomes. The guidelines provided by the MWCD is expected to provide a framework to the states to identify a feasible idea, develop a robust plan for implementation and adequately monitor and evaluate to determine potential scale-up. An amount of USD 9.03 million will be allocated to this new DLI.

Component 5: Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation  DLI 8: Program management, monitoring and evaluation systems strengthened: DLI targets under this results area are being revised to reflect the: (i) cancellation of DLI targets not expected to be achieved due to implementation delays; and (ii) the introduction of a new DLI to reflect the adoption of NNI under the modified POSHAN Abhiyaan Strategy. o DLI Targets Cancelled: the following existing DLI targets have been cancelled:  DLI 8.3: “MWCD has completed first round of survey”. Given the limited time frame, this DLI target is unlikely to be met. The MWCD has not been able to conduct population-based surveys because of several reasons. There is an expectation that the system of annual rapid surveys will be instituted and prioritized under the second phase of POSHAN Abhiyaan (POSHAN 2.0), however, this DLI target will be cancelled for the current project.  DLI 8.4: “At least 40% of ICDS Program Supervisors, child development project officers, and district program officers from Participating Districts in each respective Priority State have completed at least 60% of mandated supervision visits to AWCs as per guidelines for any consecutive period of twelve months after the period of achievement of DLI”. Since this DLI target is dependent on achievement of the preceding DLI target 8.2, which all priority states are yet to achieve, it is difficult to achieve this DLI target. Therefore, this DLI target will be cancelled.  DLI 8.5: “MWCD has completed second round of survey”. For the same reasons outlined above for DLI 8.3, this DLI target is unlikely to be met. Therefore, this will be cancelled. o Introduction of New DLI Targets: the following new DLI target has been added:  DLI 8.3: “MWCD launches the National Nutrition Index to track progress across states” has been introduced. The NNI will rank the states based on program performance and outcomes to track progress and facilitate corrective actions and is aligned with MWCD’s renewed approach. The proposed index will measure the annual performance of states and UTs on a variety of indicators, including nutrition outcomes, service coverage, governance and program inputs. The index aims to nudge states towards transformative action in the nutrition sector, by instilling a sense of competition and achievement. An amount of USD 9.31 million will be allocated to this new DLI.

Revisions to the two pending DLI targets related to ICDS Systems Strengthening and Nutrition Improvement Project) (Credit No. 5150-IN): changes have been made to the two pending DLI targets related to “DLI 1: ICT-based management and monitoring system strengthened, contributing to improved service delivery” under “Component 1: ICDS Institutional and Systems Strengthening”:  Revision of DLI targets: Two ICT related DLI targets of the ISSNIP (Credit No. 5150-IN) also need to be revised as these were dependent on ICDS-CAS. The only state which could not achieve these DLI targets is Uttar Pradesh. With the launch of POSHAN Tracker, verification protocol for these DLI targets needs to be revised to reflect the roll out of POSHAN Tracker. Below are the proposed revisions: o DLI 1.2: “Contracts for ICT hardware and supporting consulting services signed by each Participating state in accordance with guidelines set forth in Operations Manual” has already been achieved by 7 out of 8 The World Bank India: ICDS Systems Strengthening & Nutrition Improvement Program (ISSNIP) (P121731) states under the original ISSNIP project (except Uttar Pradesh). The protocol will be revised to include reference to POSHAN Tracker for this DLI target. o DLI 1.3: “At least 70% of AWWs in the project districts of Participating State trained in the ICT based management, monitoring and communication system in accordance with the Training Plan” has already been achieved by 7 out of 8 states under the original ISSNIP project (except Uttar Pradesh). The protocol will be revised to include reference to POSHAN Tracker for this DLI target. Original and proposed revised DLI verification protocols for the above DLI targets are placed at annex 4; there is no revision in the DLI value for DLI targets 1.2 and 1.3 mentioned above. 14.
