Knowledge summaries
Progress in women's and children's health depends on how efficiently knowledge on effective strategies and interventions can be translated into action. Working with partners, PMNCH regularly produces knowledge summaries that synthesize recent scientific evidence into a clear and concise, user-friendly format to support advocacy, policy and practice on issues related to reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health. Each peer-reviewed summary brings together information from trusted sources, such as journal articles, systematic reviews, technical guidelines and policy documents, to draw out practical lessons for policymakers and practitioners.
The PMNCH Knowledge Summaries series is updated and revised as new knowledge and evidence emerges. PMNCH works actively with partners from different organizations and constituencies not only to develop the series, but also to ensure the summaries reach key stakeholders.
