Innovations for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health("Innovations") accelerates the discovery and testing of creative solutions to understand and overcome barriers that prevent essential health services from reaching women and children. Rigorous research is as fundamental to the Innovations process as is the collection of insights from health workers, families, and others both within and outside the formal health system. Both culminate in the launch and implementation of pilot projects on the ground with a diverse range of creative implementing and research partners. If shown to be effective, the pilots provide invaluable insight and implications for policymakers in-country, and may be scaled up nationally or replicated in other contexts – either in additional districts in the pilot countries or other countries altogether.
