GFF Roadmap for Improved Stillbirth Reporting and Response

Overview & Synopsis

The Global Financing Facility (GFF) has been partnering with countries since 2015 to accelerate progress in the health outcomes for women, children, and adolescents. Central to the GFF’s country-led approach is the development of a costed, prioritized investment case to provide a roadmap for achieving universal coverage of a package of reproductive, maternal, child, adolescent health, and nutrition (RMNCAH-N) services. The 2021-2025 GFF Strategy affirms this approach with a renewed focus on country leadership, equity, high-quality health services, sustainable health financing, and improved use of data for decision-making. Improved monitoring of stillbirth is an important part of this Strategy, as it is both a sensitive indicator of poor-quality care during pregnancy and childbirth and a critical component of data for decision making. The following report addresses what has until now been a gap in GFF’s RMNCAH-N agenda.
