About Us
Save the Children (SCI) is the world’s leading independent non-profit organization for children. Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development, and participation. SCI’s Mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting changes in their lives. In Zambia, SCI has been implementing programs across Child Rights Governance (CRG), Health and Nutrition, Child Protection, Education, Child Poverty and Humanitarian thematic areas since 1983.

SCI, in partnership with MAP International and the Zambian Ministry of Health (MoH) with funding from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Charity (LDSC) will implement the Integrated Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Nutrition Project. The goal of the project is to contribute to the reduction in maternal, newborn, and child mortality, stillbirths, and morbidity in Western province. The project is being implemented currently in twelve (12) health facilities in Mongu district, including two hospitals and 10 health centers. The project will strengthen the health system at the community and facility level to ensure:

I. Sustained improvements in equitable access to and quality of maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition services (including people with disabilities)
II. Increased demand and enhanced social norms for preventative health behaviors and use of health services
III. Increased capacity of local institutions and organizations to sustainably deliver evidence-based, quality health and nutrition services.

To achieve these, the project will focus on:

• Standardizing the quality of care through training, mentorship, and provider-led quality improvement initiatives
• Strengthening facility infrastructure to be fit for purpose by undertaking the necessary rehabilitation works
• Ensuring that essential drugs, equipment and supplies are available
• Working across the continuum of care to deliver targeted integrated technical assistance and capacity strengthening for service delivery at health facilities and communities, including referral systems
• Utilizing Social and Behavior Change Communication strategies to normalize health-seeking behavior and engage men in family health and nutrition
• Empowering communities to find their preferred solutions to maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition (MNCAHN) uptake, quality, coverage and accountability
• Strengthening monitoring and evaluation system for data collection, review and decision-making regarding MNCAHN programming
