Research

While many lifesaving technologies are already available to save mothers? lives, additional understanding of the most cost-effective approaches that work in low resource settings to achieve public health impact is needed. As a member of an international alliance, USAID supports a major international research program to develop better measurement tools, strengthen the evidence base, and enhance developing country capacity to increase maternal and neonatal program effectiveness. It is also sponsoring research on the causes of mortality and the impact of micronutrients on pregnancy outcome. Attention is directed at getting key research findings disseminated and implemented with links to policy, community and service delivery.
