Dear Sir, Kindly find the questions and the information of selco ecosystem.
Second session:
First draft: Questions
1. How can the health centres tailor its services to people's/ community needs?
2. How can we make medical technology people centred? E.g. Telehealth? What are currently missing? Where
should we position telehealth in the bigger picture?
3. What are the options for the poor if they fall sick?
4. Is the current design of the health centres optimal/ adequate? How can we make it better? More people
centred? More holistic, not just a place to come when your are sick but a place of wellbeing.
5. What are the health services currently at a PHC that can be taken to the doorstep of the people? What are the
prerequisites and enabling environment that needs to be created?
6. Is the Sub Centre (SC) working to its potential? Are there any more room to upgrade it? If yes what are the
new added facilities/services/processes that needs to be incorporated?
7. How can technology enable community monitoring and participation in planning the health activities?
8. How can technology help the role shifting of the health services at the community level?
9. Can Practo model be taken to the rural context(PHC grading, availability of specialists at the CHCs/DHs etc.)?
What resources need to be mapped?
MMR India: 174/100,000
Best: Finland 3/100,000
IMR India 41.36/1000
Best: Luxembourg 1.58/1000
Reworked questions
Question 1: How should effective health centers be structured?
(For Moderator- This group/ panel discussion can lead to: idea of a health center being physical only vs non physical
space, the types of services that need to be provided in a built structure vs need to reach people in other ways, the
options that under-served and vulnerable populations should have when they fall sick, will evolving technology in the
future impact the idea of a physical public health center and how (eg- 5-10 years down the line)...)
Question 2: How would you approach re-designing current and optimal health centers?
(For Moderator- This group/ panel discussion can lead to: does design of health center from an accessibility and
infrastructure perspective change based on type of service being provided or geographical context, can the perspective
and terminology change/ shift from a medical/health center to a “wellbeing center”/ not just a place to go when people are
sick- would this lead to optimization of human resources)
Question 3: Can technology enable community monitoring and participation in planning the health activities?
(For Moderator- This group/ panel discussion can lead to: what types of technologies..how this may lead to better design
or services and overall resources, can it lead to more qualitative data and mapping of resources or be bundled/ leverage
with other seivices for water, education etc.)

our Approach
Fuixkf Inynttx
MLCO
Our process begins with a mapping & profiling exercise to understand
the needs of the community holistically. We start with an entry point
intervention which would address the most pressing need of the
community, collaborating with partners where necessary In an urban
scenario this could be energy, where as in tribal it could be health.

What do we mean by
‘Ecosystem’?
.o2-
Organizations, in the space of energy access, by virtue of the very
challenging missions they pursue irrespective of domain, operate in
difficult environments across the world. Local bred innovations,
supply chains, enterprise and end user centric financing,
appropriate technology, innovative human resources, potential
access to markets for finished goods are some of the pieces.
Absence of one or more slows the ability of any enterprise,
organization or government to deliver solutions efficiently to
the poor.

Energy access,
poverty alleviation
and sustainability
India has a population of approximately 1.2 billion', of which 21.9 %?
lives below poverty line. India has 306.2 million people without electricity,
and 705 million people who rely on wood and biomass for cooking.3
Depending on fossil fuels means depleting an already dwindling resource;
indoor pollution and mostly women and young girls spending countless
hours in search of firewood, often robbing them of opportunities.
One of the answers to decrease this socio economic divide while
preserving the environment is to rethink ways in which clean energy
solutions, poverty alleviation and sustainability (environmental, social
and financial) are connected. The solutions lie in better technology,
affordable finance or induced market linkages. SELCO's interventions
demonstrate how using sustainable energy can directly lead to better
quality of life and increased incomes for the poor and can be replicated.

Impact Areas
Climate change and poverty is a challenge for many of the
developoing countries in the world. The issues of the poor cut
across boundaries, especially between the countries in the Global
South. Many a time the problems might be the same but the
solution is always re-invented: which is leadingto inefficient ways of
capital utilization and slower rate of poverty reduction: which is
leading to inefficient ways of capital utilization and slower rate of
poverty reduction: a problem that SELCO FOUNDATION in India
aims to solve in a small way.
The figure shows how access to energy can impact areas of wellbeing,
health, education and livelihoods across household, work, individual,
institute and community levels.

Ch
‘Holistic’?
^<5
Each part of the above-mentioned eco-system has to be solved
innovatively and in a sustainable manner that can be replicated, with
a certain degree of variation, anywhere in the world. The targeted
solutions have to be favorable to local conditions and in line with the
needs of the local poor. Therefore based on various factors
influencing the need of an end user-affordability, geography
(slum or rural or hilly region), OCCUpatiOH (daily laborers or
street
vendors
or
home-based
workers),
built
environment (design of houses), functionality
(cooking or reading or livelihoods), US3ge (portable, stationary,
brightness, no. of hours)- solutions have to be designed to suit that
context.
The solution is not just focused on one aspect, say technical, but also
includes other aspects like market linkages, access to credit, local
culture etc which include financial and social aspects. If all the three
are considered and combined while designing a solution it makes it
more feasible and long term. Understanding the needs and aspects'
surrounding a potential issue leads to an 'end to end'
Solution encompassing technical, financial, social aspects: thus
treating a "holistic" solution.

Replication
Scaling of solutions is critical, but SELCO
Foundation does not define scale as 'super-sizing
the organization to spread innovation'(which is
convention in the business world). Instead, the
foundation is driven by an open source philosophy
which believes that effective, efficient and ethical
scaling can be achieved through adaptation or
replication of solutions suited to specific contexts.
It is observed that as one reaches out to the
lower rungs of the economic ladder and deeper

replicated in Africa?
into an array of energy services, complexities
emerge from varied local conditions or contexts.
To ensure that interventions impact and sustain
it is important to localize the solutions as well.
mi
Revolving fund
Tribal communities in remote locations are viewed
as largely un-bankable. A financial mechanism like
a revolving fund can be successfully used to plug in
access to credit for remote communities to purchase
long term energy solutions. A revolving fund is a
fund that is continually replenished as and when loan
recipients pay back their loans and the recovered
amount of money is used to finance new recipients.
