Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths: A Promise Renewed (APR) brings together governments, civil society, the private sector, and individual citizens to stop women and children from dying of causes that are easily avoidable. In June 2012, the Governments of Ethiopia, India, and the United States convened the Child Survival Call to Action in Washington, D.C. Since then, over 178 governments and hundreds of civil society and faith-based organizations have signed a pledge, now called Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths: A Promise Renewed.
Saving Mothers, Giving Life was launched to accelerate the reduction of maternal and newborn deaths in Sub-Saharan African countries. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton launched Saving Mothers, Giving Life in 2012 to test an integrated health systems approach that addresses the “three delays” associated with maternal and newborn deaths. Its partners include the governments of Uganda, Zambia, Nigeria, the United States, and Norway as well as Merck for Mothers, Every Mother Counts, Project C.U.R.E., and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) is a global partnership that works with governments, civil society, multilateral organizations, donors, the private sector, and the research and development community with the goal of expanding contraceptive access to 120 million more women and girls by 2020. FP2020 is an outcome of the 2012 London Summit on Family Planning where more than 20 governments made commitments to address barriers to accessing contraceptive information, services, and supplies, and donors pledged an additional US$2.6 billion in funding.
