dc.description.abstractCommunity-based women’s groups using a participatory learning and action (PLA) cycle are effective in promoting maternal and child health. The PLA women’s group intervention encouraged health promotion activities and community mobilization in Gulu district, Uganda (2017). This area has a high burden of unmet needs in family planning, neonatal mortality, teenage pregnancy, and child mortality. The women’s group enabled participants to adopt behaviours to protect their health and their children’s health at individual and community levels. Women extended their agency to control financial resources and developed strategies to stop domestic violence. As a result, there was a reduction in mistreatment of children.en
