Description

What is the purpose of this compendium?
This compendium is a companion document to the Essential Interventions, Commodities and Guidelines for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health. It presents key health-systems-related policies that support the delivery of proven interventions to women and children. It also includes policies on the economic, social, technological and environmental factors that influence health outcomes and service delivery. By synthesizing policy areas, the compendium aims to provide the basis for an integrated approach to advocacy, policy dialogue and planning for RMNCH – both within the health sector and across sectors that influence RMNCH. Policy recommendations change over time, as new evidence on effective interventions and delivery channels are added. For this reason, the compendium is a living document and will be regularly updated. The more detailed process of policy review, development and implementation is beyond the scope of this document. Links are provided to tools and resources for this purpose.
