Insights and Learning - SHG Institutions
• Enlist enthusiastic individuals (change agents) and matured groups first
• Mentoring existing SHG structures takes time
• SHG platform stimulated demand and made the delivery system responsible (IFA, calcium, early registration, supplementary nutrition, institutional delivery, immunization)
• Change agents and empowered SHGs/SLFs/TLFs have ensured sustainability
• Dietary diversity observed in the wider community
• Well trained HFs and Mentors got absorbed in the system
• Community engagement enabled SHGs to take part in COVID relief and better prepared to cope up with the pandemic

Insights and Learning - Convergence and Integration
• Supply system became more responsive with results achieved
• Demand from government to extend project interventions to other geographies; organise experiential learning through field visits to the TLF leaders in project districts; incorporate BCC strategies and tools into existing programs
• Received adequate support and cooperation at all levels from the government
and Convergence became stronger since it happened at all levels
• Community to Government interface enhanced the leadership and negotiation skills of SLF leaders

Insights and Learning - Household level Behaviours• Regular counseling to address barriers is crucial for achieving behaviour change
• Targeting of influencers (spouses, caretakers) yielded positive results
• Peer learning through positive deviance is helpful to break some of the deep rooted myths and misconceptions
• Messaging through multiple channels and different tools led to enhanced understanding resulting in behaviour change
• Campaigns, celebrations, demonstrations and fun-based learning methods were powerful tools to engage with the community
• Family members’ behaviour improved towards women who have support from SHG platform
• Understanding on gender norms/barriers resulted in improved self assertion among the PLWs and care & support from the spouses and care takers
