“…More broadly, most parents mentioned strictly academic objectives 'to prepare for school' and 'to help with learning'. This is consistent with findings from a range of contexts globally (for example, Fung and Cheng 2012;Gamble, Ewing, and Wilhlem 2009;Kabay, Wolf, and Yoshikawa 2017;Qadiri and Manhas 2009;Xinyi and Tze-Peng 2015), which find that parents, especially those with lower education levels, prioritise academic and curricular preparation over more child-centred, informal learning. It is worth noting though that the exception to this trend occurred among recipients of targeted outreach activities: some of those parents in Telangana who had contact with AWWs articulated socialization and habituation as distinct purposes for ECE, suggesting that parental views are not immutable.…”

“…Anganwadi program policy acknowledged gender norms and rurality as barriers to access. It is important that ICDS addresses the effects of gender on access, as it is largely mothers who bring children to Anganwadi centres [34,77].…”

Background: Four million people living in the Indian Sundarbans region in the state of West Bengal face a particularly high risk of drowning due to rurality, presence of open water, lack of accessible health systems and poor infrastructure. Although the World Health Organization has identified several interventions that may prevent drowning in rural low-and middle-income country contexts, none are currently implemented in this region. This study aims to conduct contextual policy analysis for the development of a drowning program. Implementation of a drowning program should consider leveraging existing structures and resources, as interventions that build on policy targets or government programs are more likely to be sustainable and scalable. Methods: A detailed content review of national and state policy (West Bengal) was conducted to identify policy principles and/or specific government programs that may be leveraged for drowning interventions. The enablers and barriers of these programs as well as their implementation reach were assessed through a systematic literature review. Identified policies and programs were also assessed to understand how they catered for underserved groups and their implications for equity. Results: Three programs were identified that may be leveraged for the implementation of drowning interventions such as supervised childcare, provision of home-based barriers, swim and rescue skills training and community first responder training: the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), Self-Help Group (SHG) and Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) programs. All three had high coverage in West Bengal and considered underserved groups such as women and rural populations. Possible barriers to using these programs were poor government monitoring, inadequate resource provision and overburdening of community-based workers.

Methods A detailed content review of national and state policy (West Bengal) was conducted to identify policy principles and/or specific government programs that may be leveraged for drowning interventions.

All three had high coverage in West Bengal and considered underserved groups such as women and rural populations. Conclusions This is the first systematic analysis of both policy content and execution of government programs to provide comprehensive insights into possible implementation strategies for a health intervention, in this case drowning. Programs targeting specific health outcomes should consider interventions outside of the health sector that address social determinants of health. This may enable the program to better align with relevant government agendas and increase sustainability.
