The project piloted nine innovations in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to improve the survival and health of women, newborns and children. Concern Worldwide and our research and evaluation partner, JSI, will share results from the pilots and provide opportunities to hear from other innovation leaders on what’s needed to accelerate impact and move the field forward.
