Overview:
WJCF is an Indian non-profit organisation committed to saving lives by reducing the burden of disease and strengthening government-owned, high-quality health systems. Since 2007, WJCF has combined data-driven approaches and deep public health expertise with strong government partnerships to design, implement, and scale solutions across India’s national and state health programmes. We work for and at the service of governments — supporting the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and State Departments of Health to build systems that are strong, sustainable, and led by Indian institutions.
As an Indian organisation, WJCF brings an unmatched depth of contextual understanding of India’s health system architecture, policy landscape, and implementation realities across diverse geographies and population groups. This local institutional credibility, combined with global technical rigour, is central to WJCF’s effectiveness as a partner to governments and donors.
Our work is built around four complementary roles: as a Trusted Government Partner, co-designing programmes and strengthening health system architecture; as an Operational Partner, translating strategies into effective on-the-ground delivery; as a Market Shaper, improving the availability and affordability of health commodities; and as an Ecosystem Catalyst, convening governments, development partners, academia, and the private sector to drive solutions at scale.
WJCF’s programme portfolio spans thematic areas like hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, vector-borne diseases, syphilis, cervical cancer, diabetes, maternal and childhood anaemia, immunisation, under-5 diarrhoea and pneumonia, sexual and reproductive health, Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri – Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY), Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), hypoxemia and oxygen, safe drinking water, sickle cell disease, presbyopia, lead poisoning, and cross cutting thematic areas like AI and Health, integrated disease surveillance and climate and health.
We currently support programmes across 19 states and union territories, with teams working at national, state, district, and sub-district levels.
Our people are our greatest asset. WJCF brings together a talented, diverse team of professionals from public health, analytics, consulting, healthcare, the development sector, and academia, all united by a shared commitment to improving health outcomes for the people of India. We are entrepreneurial, action-oriented, and deeply grounded in the communities and systems we work in. Our field teams collectively bring hundreds of years of experience managing public health programmes across the country.
WJCF collaborates with a range of international and domestic partners and donors to advance its mission, including an affiliation with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), a global health organisation with which WJCF shares a common mission and values.
Programme Overview:
Malaria, a vector borne disease, which transmits through an infective bite of the Anopheles mosquito, is a major public health challenge, with ~263 million cases and ~597,000 deaths reported worldwide (World Malaria Report 2024), and 255,000 cases and 86 deaths reported across India in 2024 (NCVBDC Annual Report 2024). To combat the public health challenges posed by malaria, the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) was launched in 1953 built around three key activities - insecticidal residual spray (IRS) with DDT; monitoring and surveillance of cases; and treatment of patients. While the efforts were successful in bringing down malaria linked morbidity and mortality, subsequent technical, operational, logistical and infrastructural gaps along with rising resistance to drugs and insecticides, led to a resurgence of the disease, marked by focal outbreaks (Operational Manual for Malaria Control in India, 2016).
This was followed by various plans and strategies in succession, with the malaria control programme being integrated into the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) in 2002, which is anchored by the National Centre for Vector Borne Disease Control (NCVBDC). The NCVBDC is the central nodal agency for prevention and control of six vector borne diseases (VBDs) i.e. Malaria, Dengue, Lymphatic Filariasis, Visceral Leishmaniasis, Japanese Encephalitis and Chikungunya in India. It is responsible for framing policies, technical guidelines, operational manuals while also providing technical handholding support to states for the effective implementation of various malaria prevention, control and elimination activities.
Project Background:
WJCF is privileged to support NVBDCP's bold vision of accelerated elimination of Malaria through a technical support unit (TSU) embedded in NCVBDC since 2024. This TSU provides support to the NCVBDC including, inter alia:
-
Strengthened technical and managerial support to the malaria division of NCVBDC
-
Enhanced disease intelligence and analytics for improved programmatic decisions-making
-
Adoption of dynamic innovations, and effective and sustained investments for malaria control and elimination
-
Steering partnerships and multi-sector response
