Community mobilisation to improve women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health in India
What works, what doesn’t, what next?
This talk will offer an overview of recent evidence on the effects of community mobilisation to improve women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health in India, debate potential mechanisms behind these effects, and highlight gaps for future research. We will conclude by weighing the potential benefits of community mobilisation against the potential harms posed by a ‘tyranny of participation’ in group-based interventions.
