In Sitapur, Barabanki and a few other locations in Uttar Pradesh, Pratham is working to support communities navigate the COVID-19 crisis. Our goal is to i) understand access to food, healthcare, nutrition, livelihood and to government entitlements in the project locations, ii) identify the particularly vulnerable populations such as returning migrants who have lost their livelihoods, pregnant women whose necessary nutritional needs are not being met , iii) regularly communicate the ground-level situations, critical unmet needs and gaps in service delivery with relevant government stakeholders, iv) use our volunteer presence in these communities to improve awareness and ultimately uptake on COVID-19 preventive practices, entitlements, government services, livelihood opportunities.
