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"}],"issues":[{"ID":118,"post_author":"7211","post_date":"2015-10-21 15:18:04","post_date_gmt":"2015-10-21 19:18:04","post_content":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>As of 2022, the below information reflects outdated global consensus and guidance.

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.

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.

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. When mothers are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4562289\/\">younger than 18<\/a>, they and their infants face increased risk of birth\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/issue\/complications-during-childbirth\/\">complications<\/a>, including stillbirth, low birth weight, and preterm birth. When possible, it is recommended to time pregnancies appropriately, especially by delaying first pregnancy until at least age 18.

The most common causes of stillbirth are similar to those that also kill mothers and newborns, such as maternal infections (notably syphilis and malaria), non-communicable diseases, and obstetric complications. Only 7 percent are due to congenital disorders, but some of these are also preventable*.<\/p>\n<h6>*All data on this page represents the most recent data available.

Parents experience various psychological symptoms that often persist long after the death of their baby but could be mitigated by respectful maternity services, including bereavement care. An estimated 4\u00b72 million women are living with depression associated with a previous stillbirth. Stigma and taboo further exacerbate trauma for families, and fatalism impedes stillbirth prevention.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Most stillbirths are preventable with health system improvements<\/h4>\n<p>Stillbirths are preventable through high-quality antenatal and intrapartum care within the continuum of care for women and children. Such inputs result in a quadruple return on investment by preventing maternal and newborn deaths and stillbirths, plus improving child development. The stillbirth rate is a sensitive marker of quality and equity of health care.<\/p>\n<p>Opportunities to integrate stillbirths within women's and children's health programs must be seized more systematically. Some initiatives, such as the multi-stakeholder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/every-newborn-action-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Every Newborn Action Plan<\/a>, within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomaneverychild.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Every Woman Every Child<\/a> umbrella, have included stillbirths. Data for tracking stillbirths has increased.

In addition, 2 million babies die in the last 3 months of pregnancy or during childbirth (stillbirths) and 295,000 maternal deaths occur each year*. We have the knowledge and tools to prevent at least two-thirds of these deaths. The global <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/every-newborn-action-plan\/\">Every Newborn Action Plan<\/a> (ENAP), launched in 2014, provides a road map of strategic actions for ending preventable newborn mortality and stillbirth and contributing to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity.\r\n<h6>*Most recent data available. Please visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/numbers\/\">Newborn Numbers<\/a> page to explore the data further (May 2022).<\/h6>\r\n<h2><b>The Plan<\/b><\/h2>\r\nThe ENAP presents evidence-based solutions to prevent newborn deaths and stillbirths. It sets out a clear path to 2020 with specific global and national milestones. The plan was based on evidence presented in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/the-lancet-every-newborn-series\/\"><em>The Lancet<\/em> Every Newborn series<\/a>, and developed within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/issue\/every-woman-every-child\/\">Every Woman Every Child<\/a> framework.\r\n\r\nIn 2014, 194 member states of the Sixty-seventh World Health Assembly endorsed the action plan (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/resolution-wha-67-10-newborn-health-action-plan\/\">Resolution WHA 67.10<\/a>). Led by UNICEF and the World Health Organization, ENAP was guided by the advice of experts and partners and by multistakeholder consultations and a web-based consultation with over 300 comments from stakeholders. The WHO Director-General has been requested to monitor progress towards the achievement of the global goal and targets, reporting periodically to the World Health Assembly until 2030.\r\n<h2><strong>The Action<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThe Every Newborn partnership enhances and supports coordinated, comprehensive planning and implementation of newborn-specific actions. These efforts have been coordinated by a management team with focused work streams: metrics, country implementation and advocacy. Other related partnerships have formed in support of <em>Every Women Every Children<\/em> including the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.qualityofcarenetwork.org\/\">Quality of Care Network<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/public-private-partnership-to-prevent-preterm-birth-presentation\/\">Partnership to Prevent Preterm Birth<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/breastfeeding-advocacy-initiative-call-action\/\">Breastfeeding Advocacy Initiative<\/a>, and others.\r\n\r\nSuccess of ENAP will come through links with global and national plans, measurement structures and accountability. By 2017, global agencies have set targets based on the shared goal to end preventable child and maternal deaths by 2030 including the Sustainable Development Goals and the <a href=\"http:\/\/globalstrategy.everywomaneverychild.org\/\">Global Strategy for Women\u2019s, Children\u2019s, and Adolescents\u2019 Health<\/a>. By 2017, at least 48 countries have established national newborn plans or integrated newborn content into their national health plans. As of 2016, over 50 countries had completed the Every Newborn tracking tool to facilitate country support in assessing progress, barriers, and resourcing technical assistance for newborn health in line with recommendations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][vc_single_image image=\"22210\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2><strong>Key
