Countdown to 2030

 for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (or, Countdown) builds upon the successes of the Countdown to 2015 effort. It is a multi-stakeholder global movement that aims to

  1. accelerate the momentum to achieve the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for ending preventable maternal, newborn and child deaths; and
  2. catalyze efforts to achieve the vision of the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health.  

Countdown focuses on

  • coverage and equity of cost-effective interventions against the main causes of maternal and child deaths

  • the reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) continuum of care including a focus on nutrition

  • monitoring and accountability at country and global levels

  • cutting-edge research on measurement of coverage, equity and key drivers of intervention coverage

  • capacity strengthening at regional and country level

  • high-burden countries with special attention to sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia

  • providing UN agencies,   and other accountability efforts with specific analyses and technical inputs

Countdown to 2030 is managed by a Secretariat, some of who are based at the Institute for International Programs at the Johns ÎÚŃ»´«Ă˝.
