Improving the lives of mothers and newborns
How PATH strengthens advocacy networks and drives action for better maternal and child health programs
Despite significant progress in child survival and maternal health over the past decades, many countries, particularly in Africa, are still facing challenges with millions of preventable deaths. While child mortality rates have declined, progress in maternal and newborn health has stalled in recent years, primarily due to inequities in access to quality and affordable health care.
PATH is working to address these disparities through targeted advocacy efforts to improve the continuum of care for women, children, and families. We work with decision-makers at the highest levels, leveraging our technical expertise to inform policies, and we strengthen advocacy networks across geographies to help drive action at all levels. By equipping advocates with tools, strategies, and platforms to drive change, PATH’s maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) advocacy initiatives secure investments and hold stakeholders accountable, ensuring all mothers and newborns can access lifesaving health interventions that help them survive and thrive.
This brief explores five key calls to action to address urgent MNCH advocacy priorities and accelerate progress. It is intended for advocates, technical decision-makers, policymakers, and anyone who wants to learn about key MNCH advocacy approaches that can help drive sustainable improvements in women's and children's health.
PATH hosted a series of regional MNCH advocacy dialogues to equip advocates with tools and strategies, fostering partnerships needed to accelerate progress toward global maternal, newborn, and child health targets.
Prioritizing MNCH is urgently needed to address the preventable deaths of mothers and infants. This article explores the critical need for coordinated advocacy, strong policies, and targeted investments to improve health outcomes and ensure that lifesaving interventions reach those in greatest need.
This article explores how PATH convenes partners to share frameworks and other resources to help advocates strengthen their efforts by leveraging data.
