This side event marks the official launch of the Africa Regional MNCH Advocacy Strategy (2025–2030) developed by PATH alongside some of Africa’s public health leaders African Union Commission, Africa CDC, various ministries of health, WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, Partnerships for Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (PMNCH), the Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere (EWENE) Advocacy & Accountability Working Group, Child Survival Action (CSA), and many other civil society stakeholders to provide a shared advocacy vision to accelerate progress in reducing maternal, newborn, and child mortality across Africa.
The session will present a newly designed regional advocacy approach to bridge the persistent gap between political commitments and outcomes while addressing fragmented advocacy efforts.
