• Establish an ecosystem for innovations and a strong learning agenda for designing, incubating, and testing innovative solutions to address some of the key intractable barriers that impede the delivery of CPHC in India and use the learnings generated to inform the overall design of CPHC by the GoI.
• Facilitate strategic partnerships between the public and private sectors through establishment of platforms, alliances, and advisory group for CPHC in India.

The NISHTHA project implemented by Jhpiego aims to transform, redesign and re-engineer primary healthcare in India for the provision of equitable, comprehensive, and client-centered primary healthcare that contributes to improved health outcomes for India’s marginalized and vulnerable populations, especially women and girls. NISHTHA supports the creation of a strong, responsive, accessible, sustainable, and affordable primary healthcare system that ensures effective delivery of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health services and integrates the provision of quality services for control of tuberculosis. NISHTHA is also working to strengthen India's Covid-19 response. Through the USAID/India Covid-19 Emergency Response Fund, the project provides need-based technical assistance for COVID-19 response at the national level, in the 12 project intervention states, and in non-intervention states through a rapid response unit.
