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":793,"post_author":"7211","post_date":"2009-11-18 19:01:52","post_date_gmt":"2009-11-18 19:01:52","post_content":"Save the Children is the world's leading independent organization for children.

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.

Further studies and efforts to improve measurements are encouraged in order to better track progress and increase accountability.[\/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]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">29<\/span>m<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1655835486516{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">babies were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\/item\/13-01-2021-early-childhood-development-in-conflict-affected-countries-is-key-to-life-long-health-wellbeing-and-prosperity-says-who-and-partners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">born into conflict-affected areas<\/a> in 2018<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/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]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">500<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1655835996933{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/sites\/default\/files\/pub-pdf\/UNFPA_HumanitAction_2019_PDF_Online_Version_16_Jan_2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">number of women and girls who die <\/a>from complications due to pregnancy and childbirth every day in countries facing humanitarian and fragile contexts<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/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]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">40<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1655836784867{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/refugee-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">percentage of refugees<\/a> who are children<br \/>\nunder the age of 18<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"text-green\" width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">45<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1576100716179{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/sites\/default\/files\/pub-pdf\/Humanitarian_2017_Overview-Final_updated-11_Jan_2017_web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">percentage of newborn deaths<\/a> occurring in countries affected by humanitarian crises and fragility<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\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.

Access to essential services before, during, and after pregnancy in these settings is severely restricted. As the number of people affected by conflict, natural disasters, and other emergencies increases, the gap between needs and resources is growing. There is a growing demand from responders and governments to provide for the most vulnerable groups. When a baby is born in an emergency setting, the number of risks that are encountered in the first days of life may seem insurmountable \u2014 but even in these precarious situations, many of the deaths that occur around the time of birth are preventable.

Feeding small and sick newborns is challenging because of immaturity or medical conditions that interfere with effective oral feeding. Moreover, small newborns are further affected by variation in the gut microbiome and increased risk for infections.<\/p>\n<p>They often need care in special or intensive care units, which commonly results in separation from their mothers, creating additional challenges to feeding. Care for small and sick newborns must include the promotion of safe and optimal use of human milk (with cup or nasogastric tube), and subsequent transition to breastfeeding, to achieve adequate gain weight and growth in these infants. Staff caring for these babies require specific knowledge and competencies, as well as sufficient supplies for feeding small and sick newborns.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown that Early Total Enteral Feeding (ETEF) is safe and decreases the incidence of infections, including necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), enhances cognitive development, reduces days on parental nutrition, and helps shorten the time to achieve full feeds. Own mother\u2019s milk is the first choice for such babies. Delayed initiation of and infrequent breastmilk feeding can affect the establishment of milk supply and result in decreased milk supply and unnecessary use of breast milk substitutes. If the small baby cannot suckle at the breast, it is important to express, starting with the colostrum within an hour of birth to support the onset of lactation. Such mothers should continue to express every 2-3 hours for eight or more sessions during the day, including at night for ensuring no disruption of lactation and milk supply. To achieve low risk of contamination of expressed breast milk, it is very important to ensure hygienic milk collection, storage, and handling practices.<\/p>\n<p>When own mother\u2019s milk is not available, WHO and UNICEF promote the use of pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) as the second option in preference to formulas. However, WHO has specified that, this \u201crecommendation (is) relevant for settings where safe and affordable milk-banking facilities are available or can be set up;\u201d The use of formulas as the next option requires counseling the mothers and families on their proper and clean preparation. The use of preterm formulas should only be recommended when the VLBW baby is not gaining weight on standard formula and if it can be afforded. For babies smaller than 1500gm, the WHO recommends adding vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and iron supplements.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Key resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/infant-and-young-child-feeding\">WHO Infant Feeding Recommendations<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.who.int\/media\/docs\/default-source\/nutritionlibrary\/breastfeeding\/unicef-who-capture-the-moment-eibf-2018.pdf?sfvrsn=587210cf_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Early Initiation of Breastfeeding to Promote Exclusive Breastfeeding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/emergencies\/diseases\/novel-coronavirus-2019\/question-and-answers-hub\/q-a-detail\/coronavirus-disease-covid-19-breastfeeding\">Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Breastfeeding Q&A (WHO)<\/a> + <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/commentaries\/detail\/breastfeeding-and-covid-19\">Scientific Brief\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Lancet Breastfeeding Series (2016)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/maternal_child_adolescent\/topics\/child\/nutrition\/breastfeeding\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WHO Resources on Breastfeeding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/breastfeeding-advocacy-toolkit\/\">Breastfeeding Advocacy Toolkit<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/who-recommendations-for-care-of-the-preterm-or-low-birth-weight-infant\/\">WHO recommendations for care of the preterm or low-birth-weight infant (2022)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","post_title":"Breastfeeding and feeding of small and sick newborns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"breastfeeding-and-feeding-of-small-and-sick-newborns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-21 12:34:55","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-21 17:34:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=issue&p=132","menu_order":0,"post_type":"issue","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"regions":[],"countries":[],"views":"31","why_feature":"","submitter_email":"","writein_authors_repeater":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/62184"}],"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=62184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/62184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"toolkit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/toolkit?post=62184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
