About us
The Partnership (PMNCH) is a global health partnership founded in 2005, hosted at the World Health Organization in Geneva which joins the maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) communities into an alliance of more than 300 members to ensure that all women, infants and children not only remain healthy, but thrive. www.pmnch.org
The key characteristic of The Partnership as a global health partnership is that it is ‘partner centric’, supporting and facilitating the work of its members where there is added value in partners working together, or activities are beyond the manageable limits of the partners working separately or in isolation. The 2009-2011 PMNCH Strategy and Workplan identifies six Priority Actions (PA’s) where The Partnership can add value by developing consensus among partners and members. Each PA will be led by different ‘Lead Partners’, accountable to the PMNCH board and supported by the Secretariat.
PMNCH PRIORITY ACTIONS (PA'S)
:: PA 1 - Knowledge Management System for MNCH (KM)
:: PA 2 - Core Package of Interventions for MNCH (CP)
:: PA 3 - Essential Commodities for MNCH (EC)
:: PA 4 - Strengthening Human Resources for MNCH (HR)
:: PA 5 - Advocacy for Resources + Positioning of MNCH (AD)
:: PA 6 - Tracking Progress and Commitment towards MDGS 4 and 5 (TP)
