Learning from Ananya Program Piloting and Scale-up in Bihar

In the words of Melinda French Gates: "This learning from Ananya is vital. We are committed to our vision that every life has equal value, and we will continue to examine the evidence from our work to reach vulnerable subgroups at intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other factors that compound social disadvantage. We are proud of the work we’ve done and the lessons we’ve learned alongside the Government of Bihar. The courage and commitment of the state government, development partners, and the people of Bihar humbles us and reminds us that health impact at scale requires local ownership and con- tinual measurement, learning, and adaptation. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn with you, and we thank you for inspiring us to maintain our investment in programs that enable all people to live healthy, productive lives."
