Case studies
Given the broad nature of Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) services, many PRRINN-MNCH case studies will overlap with other areas of our programme.
Key cross-cutting issues will be tracked through the monitoring and evaluation system and will become important advocacy challenges. For example, given that only around 10% of pregnant women are currently assisted in delivery by a Skilled Birth Attendant (SBA), this is a challenge that will need to draw on work from all of the PRRINN-MNCH outputs which are detailed below.
