Every Woman Every Child
The year 2015 saw the launch of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, followed shortly thereafter by the 2016–2030 Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (Global Strategy), which was developed to translate the Agenda into concrete guidance on how to accelerate progress through a multisectoral approach. These launches came near the end of a period of dramatic improvements in most countries in maternal and child survival, and optimism was high about the future health and well-being of the world’s women, children and adolescents.
But nearly halfway through the 2030 Agenda, the outlook in 2022 is less promising despite the unprecedented gains and lives saved over the past decade or more. For nearly three years, the COVID-19 pandemic has damaged the world in numerous ways, including by destabilizing access to and availability of health services, and recovery has been slow, intermittent and uneven. Yet the pandemic is not solely to blame for the world falling behind in achieving key global targets because progress had already been too slow or had halted before its onset.
