Published purpose

This project contributes to the planning and logistics of the 2014 Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH) Partners’ Forum, which is taking place in Johannesburg, South Africa, from June 29 to July 1, 2014. The Forum brings together over 800 international key stakeholders working in the field of maternal, newborn and child health, including stakeholders from developing countries, non-governmental organizations, government, multilateral organizations, universities, the private sector, and youth groups. The Forum offers an opportunity to: (1) develop a strategic vision for the reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health community for the post-2015 era; (2) review lessons learned from achievements to date to inform and guide future investments and action; and (3) strengthen the implementation of existing commitments and promote greater accountability for women and children's health to 2015 and beyond.
