Preventing Child and Maternal Deaths: A Framework for Action in a Changing World 2023-2030

For the last 60 years, USAID leadership has been pivotal in advancing maternal and child survival. Since the 2012 Child Survival Call to Action, USAID’s 25 priority partner countries for preventing child and maternal deaths have made significant progress toward the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets for Good Health and Well-Being. Several countries – including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malawi, Nepal, Senegal, Rwanda, and Uganda – are on track to achieve or have already achieved one or more of the SDG targets for child, newborn, and maternal survival. Across all countries, the political will, investments, and learning of this past decade have saved millions of women’s and children’s lives.

Over the next seven years, USAID will focus on shaping and supporting policies, practices, and country-led programs that improve the quality of care, promote equity, and improve coverage of lifesaving care to reach optimal levels across local communities and regions. USAID’s new strategic framework for preventing child and maternal deaths harnesses the learning and progress of the last decade in six strategic approaches that will yield programmatic improvements and, in turn, save lives.
