Policy and strategy

The WHO SRMNCAH policy survey monitors the existence of relevant national SRMNCAH laws, policies, guidelines, and strategic plans and also countries’ progress in:

  • adopting/adapting WHO and other global recommendations in national laws, policies, guidelines, and strategic plans related to SRMNCAH.
  • understanding the policy/legal environments that can enable achievement of the objectives of the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health and the Sustainable Development Goal.
