Discovering, developing and testing inventive ways to ensure mothers, infants, & children under five receive the care they need to survive and remain healthy.

Innovations is pilot testing a range of unconventional solutions aimed at overcoming barriers mothers and infants face in accessing essential, life-saving health services.

A Global Need

Even with proven, affordable tools and treatments available, crucial services are not reaching many of the world’s poorest mothers and infants.

New Voices, Novel Ideas

Blending the voices of local community members with diverse global experts has inspired the solutions being developed and tested by Innovations.

From Evidence to Action
