Community-MPDSR is a model that ensures maternal and perinatal deaths are identified, documented and audited regardless of the place of death – including those that occur at home, in transit to a health facility or at the facility. Our model has tools to support communities in the use of verbal and social autopsies to gather data on the root causes of death and develop actions to prevent future occurrences with a broader focus on gender, equality and social inclusion issues too.

This ‘Guide to Coalition building’ is designed for advocates to navigate through the complex journey of building and sustaining a coalition. This January 2023 update includes important considerations on Gender, Equality & Social Inclusion (GESI).

This new update makes this an ideal resource for existing coalitions and those who want to form new ones ensuring important gender and social issues are considered.

This Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) Action Tracker has been developed in response to stakeholder demand for a simple tool that enables users to keep track of actions emerging from MPDSR Committee meetings. The tool aims to make it easier for MPDSR Committee members analyse the problem that caused a maternal or perinatal death, and to specify a proposed action.

To influence how much money is spent on health services in your country, it is important to engage in the budget cycle. Throughout the budget cycle, it is possible for advocates to influence decisions on what funds are allocated to health priorities, how much is actually spent, and track whether more money actually results in better health.
