"Global evidence syntheses on women s groups have identified significant gaps in our understanding of how these interventions work." India s self-help groups (SHGs) are voluntary groups of 10-12 adult women who engage in joint savings, credit, and livelihoods activities.
"Working with women s groups can improve women s and children s health in India if the health outcomes selected are relevant to group members, multiple social and behaviour change techniques are used beyond knowledge transfer and sufficient intervention intensity is achieved." India is home to over 6 million women s groups.
