The program is supporting sister associations in four countries in order to strengthen their organizational capacities. This allows them to better contribute to nationally owned efforts to enhance care for safe motherhood, newborn health and the prevention of HIV/AIDS. The beneficiaries of the program are: (i) the professional associations and their members in targeted countries; (ii) ministries of health and other stakeholders such as national and international organizations involved in safe motherhood, newborn health and prevention of HIV/AIDS; (iii) health professionals and administrators who participate in training programs offered by the local professional associations with the support of the SOGC; and (iv) women of reproductive age and newborn children.
