Spending less than one-half of 1 percent of the federal budget, USAID works around the world to achieve these goals.<\/p>\r\n<p>USAID's history goes back to the Marshall Plan reconstruction of Europe after World War Two and the Truman Administration's Point Four Program. In 1961, the Foreign Assistance Act was signed into law and USAID was created by executive order.<\/p>\r\n<p>Since that time, USAID has been the principal U.S. agency to extend assistance to countries recovering from disaster, trying to escape poverty, and engaging in democratic reforms.<\/p>\r\n<p>USAID is an independent federal government agency that receives overall foreign policy guidance from the Secretary of State. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/our_work\/\">Our Work <\/a>supports long-term and equitable economic growth and advances U.S. foreign policy objectives by supporting:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n <li>  economic growth, agriculture and trade;<\/li>\r\n <li>  global health; and,<\/li>\r\n <li>  democracy, conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance. <\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>We provide assistance in five regions of the world:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n <li>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/locations\/sub-saharan_africa\/\">Sub-Saharan Africa<\/a>;<\/li>\r\n <li>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/locations\/asia\/\">Asia<\/a>;<\/li>\r\n <li> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/locations\/latin_america_caribbean\/\"> Latin America and the Caribbean<\/a>,<\/li>\r\n <li> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/locations\/europe_eurasia\/\"> Europe and Eurasia<\/a>; and<\/li>\r\n <li>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/locations\/middle_east\/\">The Middle East<\/a>. <\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>With headquarters in Washington, D.C., USAID's strength is its field offices around the world. We work in close partnership with private voluntary organizations, indigenous organizations, universities, American businesses, international agencies, other governments, and other U.S. government agencies. USAID has working relationships with more than 3,500 American companies and over 300 U.S.-based private voluntary organizations.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What we do<\/h2>\r\n<p>The objective of USAID’s neonatal program is to reduce neonatal mortality by building on and strengthening neonatal interventions within existing maternal and child health programs and linking with prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) in high HIV\/AIDS prevalence countries.<\/p>\r\n<p>Key program strategies include treating the mother and baby as a dyad by integrating maternal and newborn programs to support the full continuum of care during pregnancy, labor and birth, and after the birth of the baby with evidence-based perinatal and newborn interventions. USAID programs strengthen community-based approaches and empower families and communities to care for the newborn with simple preventive interventions such as warmth, hygienic cord care, early and exclusive breastfeeding, and to recognize and refer for complications such as infection. The program links communities to facilities, strengthens health systems, trains health providers, and improves quality of care in health facilities.<\/p>\r\n<p>By putting a spotlight on postpartum care, USAID has renewed its program efforts to strengthen the weakest link in the continuum of care to reach new mothers and their newborns for health services and information when most maternal and neonatal deaths occur. In a relatively new and evolving field, USAID’s newborn care program supports operations research to guide the identification, bundling, and scaling up of interventions and emphasizes the support of global and regional leadership and advocacy.<\/p>","post_title":"U.S. Agency for International Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-agency-international-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2016-01-21 19:44:00","post_modified_gmt":"2016-01-21 19:44:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=partner&p=834","menu_order":0,"post_type":"partner","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":822,"post_author":"2612","post_date":"2010-10-28 19:29:15","post_date_gmt":"2010-10-28 19:29:15","post_content":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/pmnch\/en\/\">The Partnership (PMNCH) <\/a>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<\/p>\r\n<h2>What we do<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Partnership's value proposition arises from its being the only platform that brings together all of the many Partners in the global health community focused on improving the health of women and children and promoting the Continuum of Care.

Family planning use is considered postpartum if the woman initiates and uses a method in the first twelve months after childbirth. Postpartum reproductive health and family planning also includes services initiated after miscarriage or abortion. Pregnancies that are spaced by at least two years after a live birth and six months after a miscarriage or induced abortion can reduce the risk of complications and adverse newborn outcomes. Maternal survival is also impacted as women who practice healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies are less likely to die in childbirth or from pregnancy complications. Integrating contraception counseling and services into quality antenatal, postnatal, and newborn care is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/immediate-postpartum-family-planning\/\">proven intervention<\/a> and should be included in both facility and community based services.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\" el_class=\"issue-stats\"][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"text-red\" width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">163<\/span>m<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1666117399105{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">number of women with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(22)00936-9\/fulltext\">unmet need for modern contraception services in 2019<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"text-yellow\" width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">1.7<\/span>m<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1667922548234{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">number of fewer newborn deaths annually if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/fact-sheet\/investing-sexual-and-reproductive-health-low-and-middle-income-countries\">unmet contraceptive need is met <\/a>in LMICs<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"text-blue\" width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">700<\/span>k<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1667922954092{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">number of stillbirths that could be averted annually if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/report\/adding-it-up-investing-in-sexual-reproductive-health-2019\">unmet contraceptive need is met<\/a> in LMICS<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_column_text]\r\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">All data on this page represents the most recent data available, unless otherwise noted.

Modern methods include oral contraception pills, implants, injectable, intrauterine devices (IUDs), emergency contraception, male and female condoms, male and female sterilization, and lactational amenorrhea method (LAM). Additional methods include withdrawal, the calendar or rhythm method, and other fertility based methods. Some are more effective than others, and many rely on proper use to ensure effectiveness. Most of these contraceptives can be <a href=\"https:\/\/postpartumfp.srhr.org\/\">safely used immediately postpartum<\/a>; the rest can be initiated shortly after delivery, within a few weeks to six months.\r\n\r\nThe lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) is <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/9678098\/\">98% effective<\/a> for the first six months postpartum. LAM prevents pregnancy while the mother is exclusively breastfeeding. It becomes less effective when other foods and liquids, like formula, are included, so women who are unable to exclusively breastfeed should consider other methods.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<strong>Spacing of pregnancy:<\/strong>\u00a0Use of family planning helps achieve healthy spacing of pregnancies, which is critical to a healthy pregnancy and delivery and to newborn survival. When pregnancies are too close together (less than 24 months between the last live birth and the next pregnancy), the risk of low birth weight, preterm birth, and newborn death increases; when pregnancy begins within six months of the last live birth, these complications are even more likely. Furthermore, when a mother who is still nursing an infant of any age becomes pregnant again, it is difficult to meet the nutritional needs of the mother, nursing baby, and fetus.\r\n\r\n<strong>Timing of pregnancy:<\/strong>\u00a0Studies have shown that both newborns and mothers have the healthiest outcomes when pregnancies occur after age 18.
