Description
We will prioritize the transition from iron and folic acid to multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) in at least 6 countries by 2028 to improve maternal and infant nutrition and survival. This will be accomplished in partnership with donors, governments, and local and international partners, through implementation research, revision of national guidelines and essential medicines lists, and advocacy for domestic financing strategies and integration into national antenatal care systems. Progress will be monitored annually.
