Abstract

This project tested the replication of a comprehensive, district-wide Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) program. The study’s findings suggest that the tested implementation processes contributed to significant improvements in MNCH in Misungwi and Kwimba districts in Lake Zone, Tanzania. Despite successes, gaps remain around family planning, with some community resistance to changing health behaviours and care seeking. High levels of engagement are critical to project sustainability. “Mama na Mtoto,” addresses MNCH gaps at three levels: (1) district (through health system strengthening activities); (2) health facility (through training and infrastructure); (3) community (by encouraging volunteer community health workers).
