The supervisors become vital players in improving data-procurement and service delivery at the last mile. Supervisors can influence and inspire frontline healthcare workers (FLWs) to work more efficiently and procure data properly. TAF provides support and guidance to the supervisory cadre— ASHA Supervisors, Sector Supervisors from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Lady Supervisors from the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS). In our system strengthening efforts, the objectives are to holistically train the supervisor in many facets, such as providing constructive feedback to the FLWs, inspire them to work efficiently, ensure there are little to no discrepancies in the data procured, and conduct agenda-based sector meetings. It enables the supervisory cadre to make data-driven decisions and plan their visit schedules better.

To assess the quality-of-service delivery in their areas, this intervention trains the supervisors in better using health and nutrition data available in government systems. We also support them in planning their monitoring visits, conducting supportive supervision while on the field and having a data-based review of the performance of their respective sectors/ block meetings. Supervisors are also being provided interactive data dashboards and analysis tools to support them in making data-driven decisions. Our intervention involves working in close collaboration with supervisors and training them in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of their supervision.
