PMNCH, White Ribbon Alliance and EWEC

The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH) is the world’s largest alliance for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health, bringing together over 1,000 partner organizations across 192 countries. Since its inception, PMNCH has worked to forge and strengthen partnerships and drive momentum towards the attainment of global targets for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health.

White Ribbon Alliance is a locally led, globally connected grassroots movement advocating for the health and rights of women, girls and newborns. They partner with individuals, families and communities, professionals and practitioners from diverse fields, and all sectors of government so that all women and girls can realize their right to quality health and well-being. They use many approaches, all of which put citizens at the center so that health policies, programs and practices are responsive to actual needs.

Launched in 2010 and spearheaded by the UN Secretary-General, EveryWoman Every Child (EWEC) is an unprecedented global movement that mobilizes and intensifies international and national action by governments, multi-laterals, the private sector and civil society to address the major health challenges facing women, children and adolescents around the world. The movement puts into action the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health, which presents a road-map to ending all preventable deaths of women, children and adolescents within a generation and ensuring their well-being.
