Description and results
Description
This project aims to reduce illness and death among mothers, newborns and children in the province of Zambezia, the second most populous province with some of the highest maternal and child mortality and morbidity rates in Mozambique.

The project seeks to help the Zambezia Provincial Directorate of Health to better respond to the health needs of mothers, newborns and children, promote better health for mothers and higher survival rates for children, and reduce deaths from infectious diseases. The project also seeks to improve the management capacity of the Provincial Directorate so that it functions more efficiently, effectively and sustainably over the long term.
