Contd. from home page................The synergy among the three state departments involved has been central to he scale up with quality. The Department of Education implements the 

programme for school-going girls; the Department of Women and Child Development implements for out-of-school girls; and the Department of Health is responsible for the procurement and distribution of the supplies.
Four additional success factors are:

1) use of evidence-based advocacy based on internationally agreed-upon recommendations and better practices and the demonstrated benefits of the first phase of the programme; 2) the commitment of state departments to increase budged allocations and ensure the training of frontline workers and supervisors and the procurement and distribution of the
supplies needed;

 3) Programme communication strategies to sensitize girls, teachers, and parents on the consequences of anaemia and the benefits of the programme; and

 4) the power of adolescent girls to talk positively about the programme to peer girls and decision makers and advocate for the scale up.
