Achievements and Lessons from USAID's flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program

Wednesday, October 2, 9:00am - 10:30am EDT

Over the past five years, USAID's flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) has developed tools and strategies to address gender-based constraints and opportunities related to reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) outcomes and integrated these into national strategies, training packages, and quality improvement tools. In Ghana, Nigeria, Mozambique, and Tanzania these tools have been institutionalized by their Ministries of Health and scaled up through national programs. Through the identification and analysis of gender issues pertaining to RMNCAH in select settings, MCSP has drawn new insights on the impact of addressing gender norms, roles, and relations as it relates to RMNCH care-seeking, service utilization, and other health outcomes. 

Please join MCSP for a webinar on Wednesday, October 2 from 9:00am - 10:30am EDT that will feature strategies that promote gender-sensitive services and engage men in RMNCH at the facility and community levels, including through policies and guidelines, the use of quality improvement standards and processes, and gender transformative workshops.
