Abstract

The Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa (IMCHA) project tackles health systems issues by focusing on ensuring that research is designed, presented, and packaged to influence policy. In Tanzania, most projects had at least two innovations leading to positive outcomes across the different categories, showing there were multiple pathways for impacts to scale. The Tanzanian case study demonstrates sustainability of project results. Impact stemmed from the conscious effort to coordinate teams and to create the conditions for cooperation. Between 2014-2022, the initiative was implemented in 11 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, with Tanzania hosting the largest number of projects.
