Today we launch the Every to speed up our response and save more lives. - Ban Ki-Moon, UN Secretary General Graça Machel and other world leaders launched the Every Newborn action plan Partners Forum, South Africa, June 2014 Newborn was a gap. The World Health Assembly agreed and passed ENAP. - Margaret Chan, World Health Organization This plan demonstrates that together we can achieve the vision of a world in which there are no preventable deaths of newborns or stillbirths, where every pregnancy is wanted, every birth celebrated, and women, babies and children survive, thrive and reach their full potential – Graça Machel

4. EVERY NEWBORN Commitments www.lancet/series/everynewborn www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn World Health Assembly Resolution 194 member states endorsed the Every Newborn Action Plan in May 2014 Now 40 new commitments, largest collection since launch of Every Woman, Every Child in 2010

5. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn A roadmap for change in countries… A platform for harmonized action by all partners…  Sets out a clear vision with mortality goals, strategic objectives, innovative actions within the continuum of care  Supported by new evidence  Inputs from more than 2,000 individuals  A movement for greater action and accountability… The Every Newborn Action Plan: building a movement

6. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn Huge burden, yet huge potential for rapid change with high impact, feasible interventions Country demand for guidance and action to accelerate progress towards MDGs 4 and 5, universal health coverage, and towards ending preventable deaths among women and children For greater effectiveness we must accelerate and harmonize global response and link to existing initiatives for reproductive, maternal, child and adolescent health care. More than 3 million babies and women could be saved each year through investing in quality care around the time of birth. Photo credit: Save the Children Why Every Newborn?

16. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn What to do differently? Every Newborn’s guiding principles Country leadership Good governance, community participation, partner alignment Integration Integrated service delivery, continuum of care, programme coordination Equity Universal coverage, closing the equity gap Human rights Principles, standards Accountability Transparency, oversight Innovation Interventions, delivery approaches, technologies

17. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn What to do differently? Every Newborn’s Five strategic objectives 1.Strengthen and invest in care during labour, birth and the first day and week of life 2.Improve the quality of maternal and newborn care 3.Reach every woman and every newborn; reduce inequities 4.Harness the power of parents, families and communities 5.Count every newborn – measurement, tracking and accountability

18. Health Sector Strategic & Investment Plan Integrated National RMNCH Plan Increasing access and use of FP Ending preventable newborn deaths Ending preventable deaths from pneumonia and diarrhoea (GAPPD) Ending preventable maternal deaths Every Newborn prioritizes focus on birth within existing national strategies and plans; not a new stand alone plan

19. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn Every Newborn’s impact framework

20. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn How will we track progress? Every Newborn milestones Every Newborn sets out concrete and measurable global and national level milestones from now to 2020, coverage targets to 2025 and mortality goals to 2035

21. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn Source: Lancet Every Newborn series, paper 5 EVERY NEWBORN MILESTONES Every Mother, Every Newborn Quality Improvement Initiative  Reach every women and every newborn with high quality facility-based care for women and babies around the time of birth, also strengthening the linkages with communities  Co-led by WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA to build on and accelerate existing work including: global standards to reach every mother and newborn with high-quality care quality improvement methodologies accreditation approaches

22. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn EVERY NEWBORN MILESTONES: Monitoring framework and metrics Impact 1. Maternal Mortality Ratio 2. Stillbirth Rate 3. Neonatal Mortality Rate Coverage: Care for all mothers & newborns 4. Skilled attendant at birth 5. Early postnatal care for mothers & babies 6. Exclusive breast feeding to 6 months Coverage: Complications & extra care 7. Antenatal corticosteroid use 8. Newborn resuscitation 9. Kangaroo mother care & feeding support 10. Treatment of neonatal sepsis Improving & using the data including programmatic coverage is crucial for acceleration & accountability

23. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn Potential for major change in countries Progress is possible – targets getting traction  Neonatal survival unfinished agenda, stillbirths still missing, but count for families  Synergies of newborn survival with demographic transition  Country consultations and ownership over 1 yr process Programmatic focus is clear and evidence-based  Time around birth, triple return on investment  Priority attention to small babies to reduce deaths, disability and risk of non communicable diseases (NCDs)  Urgent improvements for programmatic coverage data Partnerships and alliances  UN leadership  Maternal alliances especially re service delivery eg “Every Mother, Every Newborn quality improvement package”  Civil society advocacy to change social norms

24. www.everynewborn.org #EveryNewborn The partnerships forged during the development process for ENAP will work together on three main streams of activities: 1.Country implementation: to identify and respond to technical support needs to ensure that the proposed strategies and evidence are translated into action 2.Advocacy: to strengthen and track maternal and newborn health advocacy efforts globally and in countries. 3.Data and metrics: to improve and institutionalize metrics to track coverage and impact based on the goals and targets of the ENAP and the five strategic objectives Next steps Every Newborn movement
