This resource provides an overview of the key issues in relation to Quality of Maternal and Newborn (MNH) Services, and signposts key resources for further reading.

Originally designed for the cadre of Health Advisers at DFID, it has been adapted to suit a broad range of actors involved in strengthening policy and programming interventions.

This resource has been collaboratively produced by members of the HEART PEAKS consortium in collaboration with colleagues in the UK Department for International Development (DfID), and beyond.

The package is divided into two components:

Inform: What are the issues, concepts and frameworks that I need to get to grips with? What does the latest evidence indicate?

Engage: What can we learn from experience with and beyond DFID’s portfolio of work, about making progress towards quality outcomes in MNH?
