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. EVERY ONE is Save the Children\u2019s global campaign to ensure no child under the age of five dies from preventable causes, and that public attitudes do not tolerate a return to high levels of child deaths. By 2015, the campaign aims to have catalyzed a breakthrough in governments' policies and practices that dramatically accelerates sustainable progress towards MDG 4.
