The document details SNEHA's implementation of the ICDS Scorecard, a tool developed to assess and enhance the performance of Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) under the Integrated Child Development Services. It focuses on critical aspects such as infrastructure, logistics, and documentation, identifying deficiencies in urban informal settlements where AWCs often face challenges like inadequate space, sanitation, and recordkeeping.

The scorecard, based on a robust set of criteria and developed through stakeholder consultation, serves as a rapid assessment mechanism. Data collection involved observations, interviews, and record reviews, categorizing AWCs into performance grades. The findings highlighted gaps, particularly in record maintenance and growth monitoring, which were addressed through targeted training and collaboration with ICDS supervisors and workers.

Despite initial resistance from staff and supervisors, SNEHA facilitated joint efforts to complete the assessments, leading to actionable insights for improving AWC functionality. This initiative underscores the potential of structured monitoring tools to drive systemic improvements and support better delivery of child development services.
