Dear IPEans

October is the traditional month of festivities in India. And all of these are connected to some divine event - linked to an Eternal Energy.

Our Wallpaper for this month reflects the spirit of divine celebration. But what is divine celebration? Does it need a special day, a dedicated place and a specific ritual? Or would pure and selfless intention elevate ordinary actions to a divine status?

Kahlil Gibran said "Work is love made visible". And that is the spirit of all of us at IPE Global too.

We work because we want to make a difference.

We work because we believe in our abilities.

We work because making development happen is our offering to the Divine.

And that what makes IPE Global Special.

On another note, IPE Global has become a public limited company in September 2015. Our aspiration is to grow bigger with greater responsibility and transparency. We reaffirm our commitment to make International Development a Ground Reality across the world.

Best wishesAshwajit Singh

Kala-azar: Rolling out Ambisome treatment at Public Facilities in Bihar and Jharkhand-By Neeraj Gupta, Team Health, Nutrition and WASHKala-azar (KA) has been a serious medical and public health problem in India since historical times. Disease mostly affects poor people in villages in the states of Bihar and Jharkhand.

The new government has set the goal of Kala-azar elimination in India by the year 2015. The Government of India has adapted the use of ‘Liposomal Amphotericin B’ as a first line treatment in their newly updated roadmap for KA elimination (August 2014). Alongside, the World Health Organization (WHO) has committed to providing all the ‘AmBisome’ needs of India until 2021 free of cost. The national roadmap for KA elimination states that in a phased manner ‘Liposomal Amphotericin B’ will be introduced to the district hospitals and selected public health centres throughout the endemic areas of theBihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. In consultation with KalaCORE, Consortium (DFID funded) IPE Global is implementing a short term project to enable identified health facilities (district hospitals and primary health care centres) in endemic districts of Bihar and Jharkhand to offer ‘Single Dose Liposomal Amphotericin B’ (SDLA-B) as treatment for KA. Project activities have commenced since April 2015.

IPE Global has placed a team for conducting a capacity building programme. Teams have covered the endemic districts of Bihar and Jharkhand. Detailed assessment of the health facilities of endemic blocks was conducted to ensure the readiness of the facilities for cold chain installation and SDLA-B implementation. A round of extensive training in all SDLA-B ready facilities was conducted by the training teams. A total of 21 district hospitals (DH) and 40 public health centres (PHC) in Bihar and 4 DH and 11 PHC in Jharkhand were covered. During the trainings conducted by IPE Global, 439 medical officers, 848 nurses and 914 health care staff involved in KA elimination were trained. 4-8 weeks post training, the trainers followed up with the staff trained during these trainings to evaluate their knowledge and reinforce the skills inculcated. The gaps were identified and hands on training on the identified issues were imparted. Project is scheduled to end in October 2015.

Consultative Workshop on “Fair Price Shops (FPS) Automation”By Phalguni Dasgupta, Team OMEGAA daylong consultative workshop on “FPS Automation & FPS Viability” was held on 7th October, 2015 at the Hotel Mayfair Lagoon to have brainstorming sessions on different possible avenues of FPS automation and pick up the one model that would suit the state of Odisha best. The workshop was organised by Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Department (FS & CW) in consultation with ‘Odisha Modernising Economy, Governance and Administration’ Programme (OMEGA)-a DFID funded initiative. The consultative workshop was attended by 103 delegates drawn from various government departments and reputed organisations.

Officials from Department of Food, Government of India and other states having prior experiences of FPS automation namely Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Telangana were invited to share their experience, which could be instrumental in shaping the strategies for FPS automation across the state of Odisha. In addition, officials from the FS & CW Department, Odisha State Civil Supply Corporation (OSCSC), district collectors, civil supply officers and senior officials from the State Government were invited to deliberate on issues relating to the digitisation process. Apart from that, representatives from agencies dealing with ‘Point of Sale’ (PoS) and selected FPS owners were also invited to share their models. Participants from World Food Programme, NIC, OCAC and OMEGA were also invited to share their practical experience and to give inputs on what the existing challenges are and how best to address the same in a planned and systematic manner.

The focus of the daylong consultative workshop was on developing a vision and strategies that will form the foundation for pilot & replication of FPS Automation in Odisha. In order to develop the vision and strategies, sequential working sessions were conducted. Hon’ble Minister, Food & Civil Supplies to Government of Odisha, Shri S. K. Das Burma formally inaugurated the workshop to kick start the proceedings followed by sharing of the objectives of the workshop by Shri M. S. Padhi, Secretary, FS & CW, Government of Odisha. Shri Deepak Kumar, Joint Secy., Government of India share the perspective of the Central Government on PoS based FPS Automation. There was an introductory presentation by the Joint Secretary, Government of India on the guidelines and various models available for FPS Automation followed by a presentation by WFP on their experience of FPS Automation in Kerala. Both the presentations facilitated the understanding of the existing situation, opportunities and challenges associated in the FPS Automation in Odisha. The presentations culminated in an open house discussion aimed at identifying the key learning’s.

The workshop primarily focused on drawing inspirations from the experience of other states. In order to achieve this, presentations highlighting the process adopted and achievements of FPS Automation by representatives of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were made. These presentations were followed by an open house discussion aimed at identifying the key learning’s from other states this time.

The workshop continued to highlight presentations by agencies involved in PoS based FPS Automation in various parts of the state. Agencies such as Visiontek, Bosh, Bharat Electronics Ltd. highlighting the process adopted and achievements of FPS Automation, presented their models. The Secretary, FS & CW delivered the final presentation that summarized the proposed modalities for the FPS Automation based on the ground situation and learning’s from other states. Representatives from FPS owners also shared their views on the proposed FPS Automation in the state. The workshop ended with the valedictory session which was chaired by Shri R. Balkrishnan, IAS, ACS, Finance to Government of Odisha.

India can effectively manage its trade deficit with China, Indonesia and South KoreaBy Team KPPIndia has been running high trade deficits with major non-oil producing countries such as China, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Indonesia. During 2007 and 2014, the negative trade balance has increased with these countries, the highest being with China followed by Korea, Indonesia, Japan and Malaysia. This is a cause of major concern and needs detailed analysis of India’s trade, both exports and imports, with its trading partners so as to form aneffective strategy for India to reduce its trade deficit.

In a conference at 23rd September, 2015, experts gathered to discuss a recent study on ‘India’s Trade Deficit with major Trading Partners: Lessons and prospects’ which was carried out by the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), New Delhi, under the Knowledge Partnership Program(KPP) of IPE Global and DFID India.

Healthy Living: Training Tips for the Half MarathonThe Airtel Delhi Half Marathon is an annual half marathon foot-race held in New Delhi, India. The race is divided into different categories of the Half Marathon (21.097kms), Great Delhi Run (6kms), Sr. Citizens’ Run (4kms) and Champions with Disability 4(kms). Running is also a great way to get in shape and to get fit. With 77 IPEans registering for the Great Delhi Run segment in Delhi on 29th November, 2015, we felt the need to come up with some tips especially for rookie runners, to get them started.

The key to starting a running program is to start slow. Too many people have been put off running, by attempting to start off too fast. Your bodies don’t cooperate, and you end up miserable and left wondering why did you ever think to run in the first place? The idea is to start slow and keep at it. You may get impatient and be tempted to skip ahead in the program, but hold yourself back. On the other hand, if you find the program to be too strenuous, just stretch it out. Don’t feel pressured to continue faster than you’re able.

Running Plan: a good running technique will help make your runs feel less tiring.

• Keep your head straight and avoid looking down at your feet. Looking down will create tension in your neck and shoulders.Don’t hunch your shoulders as this restricts breathing, allowing less oxygen to get to the muscles.

• Keep your hands relaxed as right hands can cause tension all the way up to the back and shoulders. Keep your arms at 90 degrees angle and try to swing them forward and back and not across your body. The arm movement helps to propel you forward, so swinging them sideways is a waste of energy.

• Lean forward while running to reduce heel strike and help you land on the middle of your foot.• Don’t lift your knees too high. Land with a slight bend in the knee as this will help to absorb the impact of running on hard surfaces.

Your knees should be lifting forwards rather than upwards.• Breathe deeply and rhythmically. Avoid shallow and quick breaths. Try to aim for one breath for every two strides, but don’t be afraid

to try longer breathing.

The above plan should get you ready for the 6km run. All the best to our sporty IPEans!

ODISHA GIRLS' INCENTIVE PROGRAMME SCHOOL VISIT

DFID audit team visited the project office last week. Ms. Alexandra Shearn from UK visited the project office and a school in nearby Khurda district. She interacted with the students and parents and was very happy to learn the fact that the students are getting money on time and are using it for educational purposes.

The Odisha Health Sector and Nutrition Program (OHSNP) has been under implementation since 2008. The United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) has contracted the Technical and Management Support Team (TMST) to help key departments of Government of Odisha (GoO) to implement OHSNP. The main objectives of OHSNP are: reduction in infant mortality, maternal mortality, and total fertility rate; making health outcomes and utilization of services more equitable; addressing malnutrition among children; and reducing morbidity and mortality from common communicable diseases such as malaria. TMST provides support for accelerated improvements in health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene outcomes and helps to implement the 4 priority outputs under OHSNP, which are: i) improved access to health, nutrition and water and sanitation services in underserved areas; ii) public health management systems strengthened; iii) positive health, nutrition and hygiene practices and health seeking behavior of communities improved; and iv) use of evidence in planning and delivery of equitable health, nutrition and water and sanitation services.

A critical focus of Phase II is to successfully implement community based approaches which promote improved sanitation, including attainment of ODF status for villages and stimulating demand for and building of latrines. Further, to work with the supply side at District and below as well as State levels, to ensure that latrines can be provided. Some of the villages have successfully attained the ODF status.

Master Trainers ToT held at Bhubaneswar from 30th Aug to 4th Sept, 2015. This was on ‘Community Led Sanitation’ organised and facilitated by TMST.

Additional Chief Secretary, Government of Odisha visited ODF Village Bilabadi on 6th Oct, 2015 with the Revenue Division Commissioner.

Travel Diary: Kolkata Kaleidoscope-DurgotsavBy Ipsita Shee, Team Urban DevelopmentIf you are a Bengali, chances are you will be in Kolkata for the Durga Puja (Durgostav) unless a calamity of biblical proportions stops you from reaching home! This is the time; Kolkata celebrates a week long carnival rejoicing the victory of Goddess Durga over evil Asura (demon). The city adorns itself in colors, lights, embellishments and merriment, and is a unique display of Bengali culture and ethos. The pandals (temporary bamboo structures to house the Goddess and her children – Saraswati, Laksmi, Ganesha & Kartik constructed for the 10 days of the festival before they are pulled down again), showcase the finest display of art & craft work- their temporariness often enhancing their enigma. Everything from titanic ships to intricate stone temples of South India is replicated, planning for which often begins a year ahead. A unique feature of the Kolkata Durga Puja is that the artists exhibit much innovation and creativity of the idol itself, often making abstract forms of Durga mirroring the theme of the pandal.

Here are some quick pointers in case you wish to experience the festival in all its grandeur next year:

Visit to Kumartuli – Kumartuli is a traditional potter’s colony in Kolkata, where majority of the Durga idols are sculpted by hundreds of potters and craftsmen. A visit to Kumartuli with your photographer friends is a must, especially on Mahalaya dawn (the first day heralding the advent of Goddess Durga), when artists draw the eyes of goddess Durga in a special event called “Chokkudan.”

Shopping – This is more of a pre-Durga puja activity, similar to other festivals like Eid, Diwali, or Christmas where gifts are exchanged between families, friends and relatives. In case, you visit during the festival itself, you can still go to the nearest market and stock up on some traditional cotton sarees, or Dhoti-Punjabi.

Pandal hopping - Some 5000 odd pandals are constructed every year, of which more than a hundred surely merit a visit. Choosing the best pandals to visit and planning for the route and the time of visit require the expertise of a serial pandal-hopper! So make sure you tag along with a Bong friend from Kolkata, who will know how to wriggle through the crowd and the traffic.

Food – The finest cuisines & platters of Kolkata are available during the festival, with every restaurant serving their own rendition of Puja-special menu! A good meal is almost a ritual after a spell of hectic pandal-hopping! However, if possible do try and make reservations at your favourite restaurant, else chances are you will end up waiting in the queue for hours! Yes! An enthusiastic Bengali can wait for hours outside a restaurant for a delicious spread.

And finally, don’t forget to book your tickets way, way ahead!
