Return to topThis project contributed to reducing maternal and neonatal mortality in five health districts of the Kayes region (Bafoulabé, Diéma, Nioro, Oussibidiagna and Yelimana). For this to be done, the intervention involved reducing the three delays in the handling of obstetric and neonatal emergencies. The project had three components. The first one: reducing the first and second delays in the referral/evacuation of women and newborns, particularly through mitigation of the socio-economic and socio-cultural determinants that reduce women’s decision-making power. The second one was aimed at improving access to and increasing the use of quality services based on a gender-sensitive approach: health facilities were built or rehabilitated and set up with the equipment needed for emergency obstetric and neonatal care. A capacity-building program was complementary. Finally, the last component involved a set of activities to improve the social and health care teams’ skills in planning/managing/monitoring all maternal and neonatal health activities. A system for collecting and analyzing the project’s data (compatible with the existing health information systems) was developed to document the outcomes and derive lessons that could benefit Kayes and Mali as a whole.
