Business Plan 2018-2020

Overview

Improving the health and well-being of women, children and adolescents is the greatest collective endeavour of our time. We live in a world of gross inequality and injustice, but also of unprecedented progress. Since 1990, maternal mortality — indicating deaths of women during pregnancy and childbirth — has fallen by 44%, and the death rate for children under age 5 has fallen by 53%. This progress has been achieved largely through the power of partnerships. PMNCH has worked since its inception in 2005 to forge and strengthen these partnerships.

PMNCH’s vision is that of the Every Woman Every Child (EWEC) Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (Global Strategy): “a world in which every woman, child and adolescent — in stable, fragile and humanitarian settings — realizes their right to physical and mental health and well-being; has social and economic opportunities; and is able to participate fully in shaping prosperous and sustainable societies”.
