Nagaland Health Project (NHP) with support from World Bank aims to improve management and delivery of health services and increase their utilization by communities in targeted locations in Nagaland without duplicating existing government programs. The project will target 177 health facilities and 500 villages across the state over the six-year project duration. The project will accomplish these objectives through implementation of two components:

Component 1: Community action for health and nutrition

Component 2: Health system development

Community Action for Health and Nutrition: Under this component, activities to support community engagement and management of health services will intend to contribute to improved delivery of local health services. This component will also aim to increase community awareness and knowledge to increase utilization of health services and engage in positive health behaviors. Capacity-building activities for the Village Health committees will also be undertaken. This component will also support increased representation by women and foster the involvement of women's self-help groups. Around 500 Village Health Committees are potentially for support on Component 1.
