Supporting the people and systems behind a child’s strongest start.

Women and young children do not experience health, nutrition, care, safety, and development as separate issues. We support locally led solutions that connect these needs across pregnancy, birth, infancy, and the early childhood years.

Healthy pregnancies and safe births

Support respectful maternal care, birth preparedness, timely referral, postpartum follow-up, and the people and systems that make care possible.

Newborn and infant health

Help strengthen essential newborn care, feeding support, early recognition of danger signs, and continuity between families and services.

Nutrition and early development

Support maternal and child nutrition, responsive caregiving, play, communication, protection, and early learning.

Strong families and health systems

Strengthen community leadership, frontline capacity, data, referral, safeguarding, and service coordination.

Stronger beginnings start with aligned action.

Put your resources, expertise, or partnership behind locally led African priorities for women and young children.
