Since 2000, Save the Children\u2019s SNL program has worked as a catalyst towards ensuring that newborn health and survival is on global and national agendas. SNL seeks to achieve equitable and effective coverage of high-impact newborn services and practices institutionalized at scale.\r\n\r\nSNL currently works in partnership with 7 countries to reduce newborn mortality, improve newborn health and bring high-impact interventions to scale. In 4 countries \u2013 Bangladesh, Malawi, Nepal, and Uganda - the program works through partnerships with government and stakeholders to achieve and document the scale-up of newborn health interventions. These countries have achieved substantial policy and system readiness for scale-up and are positioned for accelerated change in service delivery and health outcomes. In 3 additional countries \u2013 Ethiopia, India, and Nigeria \u2013 SNL coordinates with government and partners to develop policies, program experience, and evidence in order to promote the effective and sustainable scale-up of key interventions. SNL collaborates closely with governments and implementing partners, and provides direct support to the design, development and implementation of national strategies and policies to improve the quality and availability of care for mothers and newborns.

MCSP is a global, USAID Cooperative Agreement to introduce and support high-impact health interventions with a focus on 24 high-priority countries with the ultimate goal of ending preventable maternal and child deaths within a generation. The Program is focused on ensuring that all women, newborns and children most in need have equitable access to quality health care services to save lives.\r\n\r\n<strong>Save the Children Campaigns:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAs an independent and global organization, Save the Children has a powerful voice in campaigning for long-term change, and a track record of success. Save the Children encourages its supporters to put pressure on decision makers and opinion formers to change policies and practices, locally and globally, to ensure children's rights become reality.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-796\" src=\"\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/hnn-content\/uploads\/EveryOne-Thumb.jpg\" alt=\"EveryOne - Thumb\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" \/>The EveryOne Campaign<\/strong>: Save the Children has launched a global campaign to ensure governments provide basic health and nutrition services to millions of children who might not otherwise live to see their fifth birthday.

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>&nbsp;&nbsp;economic growth, agriculture and trade;<\/li>\r\n    <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;global health; and,<\/li>\r\n    <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;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>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/locations\/sub-saharan_africa\/\">Sub-Saharan Africa<\/a>;<\/li>\r\n    <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/locations\/asia\/\">Asia<\/a>;<\/li>\r\n    <li>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/locations\/latin_america_caribbean\/\">&nbsp;Latin America and the Caribbean<\/a>,<\/li>\r\n    <li>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/locations\/europe_eurasia\/\">&nbsp;Europe and Eurasia<\/a>; and<\/li>\r\n    <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;<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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&#038;p=834","menu_order":0,"post_type":"partner","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/10054"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/resource"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7211"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/10054\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"toolkit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/toolkit?post=10054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
