GUIDELINES FOR MOTHER NGO (MNGO) SCHEME
Introduction
The Department of Family Welfare in the Ninth
Five Year Plan (1997-2002) introduced the Mother
NGO scheme under the Reproductive and Child
Health Programme. Under this scheme, the DoFW
identified and sanctioned grants to selected NGOs
called Mother NGOs in allocated district/s. These
MNGOs, in turn, issued grants to smaller NGOs,
called Field NGOs (FNGOs), in the allocated
district/s. The grants were to be used for promoting
the goals/objectives as outlined in the Reproductive
and Child Health (RCH) Programme of GoI.
Guidelines
In addition to capacity building and nurturing small
NGOs, the scheme focuses on addressing the unmet
RCH needs. This is possible by involving NGOs in
delivery of RCH services, in areas which are under
served or un-served* by the government
infrastructure. Accordingly, NGOs are expected to
move from exclusive awareness generation to actual
delivery of RCH services. This will be done by
utilising and strengthening the existing government
infrastructure and human resources and not creating
a parallel structure.
NGO Selection Committee
The selection of MNGOs will be carried out by the
NGO Selection Committee, chaired by the Joint
Secretary, FW, GoI. This Committee will be
constituted at the level of each state for the purpose
of selection of MNGOs. The other members include
the State Health & Family Welfare Secretary,
Regional Director, RRC Representative, Project
Director RCH Society/ director (FW) as Member
Secretary and 1-2 co- opted members.
The selection of MNGO will be based on desk
review reports and field appraisals of the eligible
NGOs conducted by the RRCs. After selection of
the MNGO, the NGO Selection Committee will
place the recommendation to the GIAC for approval.
State RCH Society
The State RCH Society constitutes a technical
NGO Committee, called the State NGO
Committee and ensures the placement of State
NGO Coordinator. From selection of MNGOs,
recommendation of projects for GoI approval,
fund disbursement, capacity building, training,
monitoring to evaluation, is the responsibility of
the State RCH Society.
State NGO Committee
The State NGO Coordinator convenes the meeting
of the State NGO Committee, chaired by the
Secretary (FW) or his nominee. Till the time the
State NGO Coordinator is identified and gets
placed, the Regional Director convenes the NGO
committee meetings. The presence of GoI
representative, RD and State NGO Coordinator is
mandatory. The RRC and Director (FW) are also
members of the Committee.
