Goal action plan
The Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Consortium will achieve this Goal by 'developing and implementing a global advocacy' and communications agenda, brokering knowledge around technical issues relating to piloting, supply chains and scaling, with a specific focus on country-level actors. The Consortium will also convene stakeholders to develop consensus on issues impeding progress.
