Collective Action for Maternal Newborn Health
About us
AlignMNH is a global initiative founded in 2020 to accelerate progress in improving maternal and newborn health (#MNH) outcomes and prevent stillbirths around the globe. Unacceptably high levels of preventable maternal, newborn, and stillbirth deaths remain, with progress moving too slow to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. We aim to address this by collaborating with country, regional, and global partners to rapidly share science, evidence, promising innovations, and programmatic experience to align around common priorities, measurement, and action. We help create a unified vision and a collective sense of movement in the MNH community. We do this by: - Activating and strengthening connections across the whole ecosystem, breaking down silos, and aligning towards a shared set of goals, grounded in country priorities. - Creating energy and motivation across communities. - Providing offerings that bring together diverse stakeholders to address the challenges of complexity. - Influencing change by building coalitions across research, advocacy, private sector, media, financing, and policy communities, supported by the voices of people with lived experience. - Supporting and amplifying leaders and champions. AlignMNH is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and USAID, and is led by Jhpiego.

These deaths are preventable with lifesaving innovations that already exist. As an MNCH advocate, Esther Nasikye of PATH knows firsthand "what is possible when there is the political will and investment to do so." She shares 4️⃣ themes central to strengthening MNCH progress and advocacy, particularly in Africa, in a new blog post: https://lnkd.in/eh7YAuK2 #MaternalHealth #NewbornHealth #MNHMovementMaker
