Welcome

My Recent Maternal-Newborn-Child Health (MNCH) Activities.  My recent consulting tasks include MNCH projects in Pakistan, India, Zambia, Uganda and Afghanistan. My tasks included all three components of the project management cycle: planning, implementation and assessment.

Use My Two Strategic Planning Tools
You can download and use these two strategic tools to plan your MNCH projects:

1. Down The Dangerous Stairway to Poor Reproductive Health shows the risky downward path that millions of poor women and adolescent girls follow: these women and girls are often underweight and undernourished at birth, underfed during infancy and childhood, married too early, receive no antenatal care during pregnancy, then suffer obstetric complications that can lead to an early, unnecessary death. The Dangerous Stairway to Poor Reproductive Health is especially useful for showing male decision-makers, such as husbands, fathers and health officials, how they can support MNCH activities.
   
   
2. Up the Stairway to Maternal-Newborn-Child Health shows the six upward steps that planners and managers can use to improve women`s health. Step number 1 is especially important because it includes women’s equity. “Know the Truth” activities in each step is also very important because The Truth replaces many dangerous myths about pregnancy and birth. Such myths are rampant among disadvantaged families and must be replaced by The Truth.
