2021-2025 external evaluation

Overview

The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH) serves as a cornerstone in global health advocacy, with a focus on advancing the health and well-being of women, children, and adolescents (WCAH). Between September and November 2024, PMNCH commissioned an independent evaluation of its 2021–2025 Strategy, conducted by Global Health Visions (GHV). This evaluation aimed to assess progress, challenges, and opportunities as PMNCH approaches the conclusion of its current strategy.

The 2021–2025 Strategy was developed against a backdrop of global upheavals, including the COVID-19 pandemic, political instability, and the rise of the anti-rights movement, demanding innovative advocacy approaches to maintain WCAH as a priority on global and local agendas. The evaluation focused on the core advocacy functions outlined in the current strategy as well as cross-cutting areas such as monitoring, learning and evaluation (MLE), communications, and accountability.
