Recent UN reports show that progress to reduce maternal mortality worldwide has stagnated, with the highest burden of maternal and newborn mortality persisting in countries responding to humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n

In fact, countries responding to humanitarian crises contribute to approximately 64% of global maternal deaths, 50% of newborn deaths, and 51% of stillbirths. The substantial burden in these contexts stems from many factors.<\/p>\n

To examine these complexities, the EQUAL research consortium<\/a>, funded by UK International Development from the UK government, conducted political economy analyses in Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria, and DRC with an additional policy study completed at the global level. Employing a shared conceptual framework known as the health policy triangle, these studies investigated the political, economic, and health system influences on maternal and newborn health (MNH) prioritization amidst crisis and conflict. Utilizing a single-case descriptive design, each study leveraged desk reviews and key informant interviews to gain deeper insights into MNH policies, processes, content, and actor dynamics in each context.<\/p>\n

Policy briefs highlighting the findings and recommendations from each study can be found below and a recording for a research dissemination webinar is accessible here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.
