Mobilizing Global Partnerships
Future success in scaling up child health improvements worldwide depends on increased commitment, additional resources, and greater coordination among the many groups involved in these efforts.
Much of the progress that has been made in child survival and health in the past decade is due to synergy from creative public-private partnerships and the ability to successfully leverage resources.
MSH strives to mobilize global partnerships to focus donor strategies and attract international resources for child health. These will help children and mothers around the world to get the care they need. MSH is involved with three partnerships worldwide:
MSH is a key member and one of the founding partners of the Partnership for Child Health Care, Inc., which implements Basic Support for Institutionalizing Child Survival (BASICS). BASICS is USAID's global program to fight needless childhood deaths in the developing world. In addition to MSH, the partnership includes The Academy for Educational Development and John Snow, Inc., along with three subcontractors—The Manoff Group, PATH, and Save the Children. BASICS has a proven record of developing and scaling up effective interventions with many partners: USAID bureaus and field missions, governments, donor agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private voluntary organizations (PVOs), research institutions, and the private sector.
The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health MSH participates in a new partnership of the world's leading maternal, newborn, and child health professionals. For the first time, these professionals have joined forces to intensify efforts toward achieving the international development goals for child and maternal health. To support this global partnership, BASICS and the London School of Economics are developing methods to track child health expenditures made by governments and international organizations. These figures can serve as powerful evidence for advocates for more global investment. Such information can encourage transparency and accountability about how such resources are used.
The US Coalition for Child Survival
Within the United States, MSH is a member of the US Coalition for Child Survival which seeks to strengthen commitment in the United States and globally to meet the Millennium Development Goals for child survival. The Coalition represents a broad cross-section of corporations, universities, PVOs, NGOs, faith-based organizations, and foundations. These organizations and individuals strive to:
