In September 2015, UN countries adopted an ambitious set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Scaling up high-impact interventions is imperative to achieving these Sustainable Development Goals, which – among other targets – seek to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.”
If countries are to achieve sustainable impact at scale, the scale-up process needs both to expand services to those that need them, as well as institutionalize those services in their country systems. Thus, scaling-up health services involves an in-depth understanding of any country’s government, civil society actors and local needs, but also a commitment to maintaining and improving the quality of those services.
Join USAID’s flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) and partners for a candid discussion as to how governments, donors, and organizations can scale-up “what works” for women and children the world over with colleagues from Ghana, Ethiopia, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
