Partnership for Maternal Newborn and Child Health - 2014 Partners’ Forum

This project contributes to the planning and logistics of the 2014 Partnership for Maternal Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH) Partners’ Forum which is taking place in Johannesburg South Africa from June 29 to July 1 2014. The Forum brings together over 800 international key stakeholders working in the field of maternal newborn and child health including stakeholders from developing countries non-governmental organizations government multilateral organizations universities the private sector and youth groups. The Forum offers an opportunity to: (1) develop a strategic vision for the reproductive maternal newborn and child health community for the post-2015 era; (2) review lessons learned from achievements to date to inform and guide future investments and action; and (3) strengthen the implementation of existing commitments and promote greater accountability for women and children's health to 2015 and beyond.

The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (1) strengthened knowledge about the development implementation and scale-up of evidence-informed maternal and child health programming to guide investments and action; (2) enhanced multi-stakeholder dialogue to develop a strategic vision for the reproductive maternal newborn and child health community; (3) improved accessibility and diversity of the 2014 Partnership for Maternal Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH) Partners’ Forum; and (4) enhanced coordination of actors working to improve maternal newborn and child health.
