Every woman, every child: strengthening equity and dignity through health

Overview

Welcome to the second report of the independent Expert Review Group on Information and Accountability for Women’s and Children’s Health. We have now reached the half-way point in our work for the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon. our objective is to make accountability a central element of his ambitious Every Woman, Every Child initiative. The pace of change for women’s and children’s health is rapid and sometimes hard to keep up with. Countries are moving quickly to do all they can to meet their Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets. The global community is continuously devising visionary initiatives to catalyse progress internationally, regionally, and in countries. And a constant stream of new evidence is being generated to help policymakers make more reliable and informed decisions.
