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. The Consortium aims to build on implementation research to better understand and enhance the feasibility, acceptability, and compliance of introducing MMS.
