Abstract

Developing evidence-informed policies was at the heart of the Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa (IMCHA) initiative. IMCHA projects have informed the adoption or revision of more than 20 policies and practices across sub-Saharan Africa. Between 2014 and 2022, IMCHA made important strides toward improving the lives of women and children in 11 countries. This 3-page policy brief reviews outcomes and impacts of the IMCHA initiative. It demonstrates to decision-makers and researchers that they need each other, even if they do not have the same vision.
