2. What the Partnership does and does not do
9
Address the full spectrum of RMNCAH continuum of care Principal focus on countries with high burden of maternal and child mortality Special attention to underserved areas and marginalized populations
To promote health and development of women, newborns, children and adolescents.
10
What the Partnership does Provides partners with opportunities to convene and align
actions: the power of the platform Engages with health and health-related sectors to promote a
comprehensive and cross-sectoral integration of efforts Identifies a range of opportunities to catalyze action at
country level, to maximize the power of the platform and the country presence of its partners. Engages in accountability, advocacy, and analysis Aims to achieve alignment Aligned with, but not confined by, global goals & strategies,
including the SDGs, the updated Global Strategy for Women’s Children’s and Adolescents’ Health
11
What the Partnership does not do Technical support: individual partners provide technical
assistance and direct funding to countries, but this is not a role for the Partnership Secretariat. Funding: the Partnership is not a financing mechanism, but
brings together the major sources of finance among its partners; we support efforts to advance the full range of financing approaches to RMNCAH. Conduct research: through partners we ensure high
quality analysis of emerging evidence and share best practice. Establish offices in countries: the Partnership is not
involved in direct country level implementation of RMNCAH programmes; many individual partners are.

3. Current Strategic Framework
13
The 2012-2015 Strategic Framework
MISSION
VISION The achievement of Millennium Development Goals, with women and children enabled to realize their right to the highest attainable standard of health in the years to 2015 and beyond.
Supporting Partners to align their strategic directions and catalyze collective action to achieve universal access to comprehensive, high-quality reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health care.
14
The 2012-2015 Strategic Framework
ADDED VALUE
To be an institutional platform bringing together and enhancing the interaction of Partners focused on improving the health of women and children, working across the reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health Continuum of Care. In essence, enabling Partners to share strategies, align objectives and resources, and agree on interventions to achieve more together then they would have been able to achieve individually.
