PMNCH 2021 to 2025 Results Framework

Overview

PMNCH’s 2021 to 2025 Strategy guides the partnership’s work towards improving the health and wellbeing of women, children and adolescents (WCA). It also provides a high-level overview of the PMNCH Results Framework for this strategic period.

PMNCH’s governance structure places partners firmly at the centre of conceptualizing, developing and implementing activities. An ad-hoc and time bound Results Framework Working Group (RFWG) consulted with partners during 2021, which resulted in an updated and refined 2021-2025 Results Framework, which was approved by the PMNCH Board in Dec 2021.

In 2022, PMNCH partners reviewed their approach to working with commitments for the health and wellbeing of WCA. They agreed at the July 2022 Board meeting (decision 2.1) to shift their focus towards accelerating the implementation of existing national commitments and mobilizing new commitments where clear gaps are identified. This change was approved by the PMNCH Executive Committee in February 2023, in a paper entitled ‘PMNCH advocacy and accountability for commitments related to women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health and well-being: A revised approach’, and was used as the key background paper to the PMNCH Work-planning Retreat in Feb 2023.

This shift in focus means that PMNCH needs to update its Results Framework for the 2021 to 2025 strategic period, including the relevant Theory of Change, as outlined in this document.
