MCSP engages governments, policymakers, private sector leaders, health care providers, civil society, faith-based organizations and communities in adopting and accelerating proven approaches to address the major causes of maternal, newborn and child mortality such as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), birth asphyxia and diarrhea, respectively, and seeks to improve the quality of health services from the community to the hospital. In Rwanda, MCSP supports the Ministry of Health to tackle these issues through approaches that focus on health systems strengthening, community mobilization, gender integration and e-Health, among others. This is in support of the Government of Rwanda’s Vision 2020, Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (2013–2018) and USAID/Rwanda’s commitment to ending preventable child and maternal deaths. Program Goal and Overall Objective The overall objective of MCSP in Rwanda is to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Health (MOH) to manage and scale up high-impact RMNCH interventions and strengthen Malaria prevention and control efforts. The program has five strategic objectives underneath this overall objective: 1. Improve the quality, equity, gender sensitivity and sustainability of RMNCH services along the continuum of care 2. Support the scale-up of high-impact interventions to improve RMNCH outcomes in the public and private sectors 3. Increase community mobilization for, participation in and utilization of high-quality
