Neonatal and maternal mortality remain major challenges in sub-Saharan Africa. A skilled health workforce is an important component of preventing maternal and neonatal deaths.
Despite the well-acknowledged importance of using evidence for decision-making by many development actors, organizations in most countries are not using timely and responsive mechanisms to effectively support evidence-informed policymaking.
Most deaths in sub-Saharan Africa occur without medical attention, and as a result, the causes of death (COD) remain unknown.
Hemorrhagic septicemia is an acute, often fatal bacterial disease, mainly in cattle and buffaloes, which is prevalent in Asian and African countries.
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.
