This project responds to the need to address a global learning crisis in which many children do not reach expected standards, even when attending school.
Emergencies and displacements create major challenges to the provision of effective civil registration services such as marriages, births, and deaths.
Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest level of food and nutrition insecurity in the world. Despite many interventions, access to accurate and reliable information about the nutrition and health of individuals is severely lacking.
Most deaths in sub-Saharan Africa occur without medical attention, and as a result, the causes of death (COD) remain unknown.
While Ethiopia has successfully reduced under-five childhood mortality, there have been slower gains in reducing neonatal (newborn) and maternal mortality rates. About 220,000 children and mothers die every year in Ethiopia.
This project aims to support community-based services that will improve maternal health in Ethiopia, a country with some of the worst health indicators in sub-Saharan Africa.
