Regional Resource Centre (RRC)
The Department of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. Of India initiated the mother NGO (MNGO) scheme in the ninth five-year plan (1997- 2002) as part of Reproductive and Child Health programme. Under this scheme, the DoFW identified and sanctioned grants to selected NGOs called Mother NGOs in allotted district/s. These MNGOs, in turn, provide support to smaller NGOs, known as field NGOs (FNGOs), in the selected districts. The grants were to be used for promoting the goals/ objectives as outlined in the RCH programme of Govt. of India.
The underlying philosophy of the mother NGO scheme has been one of nurturing and capacity building. Broadly, the objectives of the scheme are:
- Addressing the gaps in information dissemination in RCH services in the project area
- Building strong institutional capacity at the state, district / field level
- Advocacy and awareness generation on RCH issues
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 underserved or unserved areas through government infrastructure.
