We have made great strides on the increased survival and health of women and children since the Millennium Development Goals were launched in 2000.
Thanks to the Global Strategy for Women’s and Children’s Health, the subsequent Every Woman Every Child movement and the work of the many partners around the world, the progress that has been made for women and children has been the success story of the MDGs.
Four years on, more than 300 stakeholders, including 70 governments, have made commitments to advance that strategy. Every Woman Every Child has proven to be a dynamic and innovative multistakeholder partnership that is delivering results.
