Though many studies have been published on the epidemiology and transmission mechanisms of JE\/AES, but there is little evidence on health system preparedness, including community-based engagement. This study was undertaken to explore a multi-stakeholder perspective on health system preparedness for the prevention of JE\/AES in a tribal district of Odisha, India.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n This study was conducted at Malkangiri district of Odisha. A total of nine focus group discussions (FGDs) among women having under-five children, community volunteers, and community health workers (CHWs), and 20 in-depth-interviews (IDIs) among community leaders, healthcare providers, and programme managers were conducted. The FGDs and IDIs were digitally recorded, transcribed, translated and analysed using content analysis approach.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Health system preparedness for the prevention of JE\/AES was improved, including effective vector management, implementation of the surveillance system, and vaccination programme. The JE vaccine was introduced under Universal Immunization Programme in Odisha in 2016. Behavioural Change Communication activities were provided with the support of community volunteers on Village Health Nutrition and Sanitation Day (VHNSD) under\n Gaon Kalyan Samiti<\/jats:italic>\n (GKS) platforms. The CHWs were actively involved in vector management and raising sanitation and hygiene awareness.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interpretation & conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Community participation and coordination between different stakeholders have a significant impact on the successful implementation of the programme. It was suggested that there was a need for a sustainability approach to active participation, orientation and capacity building training among CHWs and community volunteers to successfully implement the programme.<\/jats:p>\n
