It will fund initiatives for as long as five years that will help reduce maternal and child mortality and improve women’s and children’s health in 40 developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. The focus will be on strengthening health systems, reducing the burden of disease, improving nutrition, and ensuring accountability for results."〔"Harper Government to Increase Canadian Partnerships to Save the Lives of Mothers and Children Around the World."
