Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning

• Background

The Government of Odisha, through the Department of Health and Family Welfare, will implement the ABDM-Enabled Care Coordination (AECC) initiative in Keonjhar District. Swasti provides technical assistance to the District Administration and the District Health Society. Keonjhar serves as the demonstration district for a model that the State intends to replicate.

AECC Aims To Build a Connected, Citizen-centred District Health System Using The Infrastructure Of The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). The Initiative Integrates Five Components Into a Unified Architecture

• Health Information System (HIS): Implemented across public health facilities.
• Care Coordination Centre (CCC): Supports navigation, referrals, follow-ups, and grievance redressal.
• Red-Amber-Green (RAG) Governance Dashboard: Supports district-level monitoring and review.
• Population Health and Wellness Score (PHWS): Published at Gram Panchayat and ward levels.
• ABHA-based Citizen Identity: Links health records across facilities.





The pilot will begin at Padampur Community Health Centre (CHC) and subsequently expand across the district. The Government will use the lessons from Keonjhar to plan and implement State-level scale-up. Evidence must therefore be collected systematically and objectively, covering what works, what does not, the costs involved, and the conditions required for successful replication.

• Position Purpose

The Documentation Specialist and MEAL will be responsible for establishing and maintaining the evidence base for AECC in Keonjhar. The role will design and implement the monitoring and evaluation system, document how the model is implemented and adapted, and translate lessons into actionable material to support State-level scale-up decisions. The role will also ensure that citizens' experiences and feedback are recognised as evidence alongside system-generated data.
