Abstract

This final narrative report for the Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa (IMCHA) initiative presents the story of IMCHA, our results, outcomes, and outputs from 2014 to 2022. IMCHA was launched in March 2014 as a CAD36 million, 7-year flagship initiative to improve maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes by strengthening health systems, using primary healthcare as an entry point. The IMCHA model used a novel approach to embed research and engage decision-makers in local and national health authorities, respond to national priorities, promote a multisectoral approach in participating countries, and build on African-Canadian research capacities and collaboration.
