Liberia National Respectful Maternity Care Strategy

The Liberia National Respectful Maternity (RMC) Strategy outlines the Ministry of Health’s 5-year approach to addressing the drivers of disrespect and abuse in order to ensure respectful maternity care. It also outlines the Ministry’s priorities and identifies interventions that can uphold the rights of pregnant women through the continuum of care, beginning with the onset of pregnancy to labor.

This strategy is intended to be used by policymakers, program managers, and planners at all levels in both public and private sectors, health service providers across all levels of the services delivery, health training institutions, professionals associations and bodies, development partners, and all stakeholders who support the implementation of activities that are geared towards improving the experience of care for childbearing women and newborns.

The Liberia National Respectful Maternity (RMC) Strategy was developed through a participatory process. The Ministry of Health’s Family Health Program appreciatively acknowledges the contributions of many stakeholders, representing several divisions and units of the Ministry of Health, implementing partners, international and local non-governmental organizations, faith-based organizations, professional bodies, and academic institutions who provided deep insight and support in the development of this strategy.

Suaahara Nepal Project

Suaahara was an integrated nutrition project (2011-2016) that worked in 41 underserved districts in Nepal to improve the health and well-being of the Nepali people by focusing on the nutritional status of women and children under the age of two years. CCP partnered with Save the Children; Helen Keller International; Jhpiego; Nepali Technical Assistance Group; Nepal Water for Health; and the Nutrition Promotion and Consultancy Service.

Suaahara means good nutrition, or “a good balanced diet is the strong foundation protecting our lives.” As part of the implementing team, CCP supported strategic social and behavior change communication initiatives that build on this message and model behavior change to lead to improved maternal, infant and child nutrition.

In close coordination with Nepal government, the team created Bhanchhin Aama (Mother knows best), which served as the basis for a campaign for mass and community media. Bhanchhin Aama is a trusted, knowledgeable friendly mother-in-law character who models and promotes positive behavior change.
