    USAID/Mozambique is offering a USD 39.9 million cooperative agreement to enhance maternal and child health (MCH) from 2021-2026, aligning with the Government of Mozambique’s development priorities and the US government’s strategy for improved health outcomes. The program focuses on increasing access to quality health services, promoting societal participation, and advancing gender equality, particularly in the provinces of Nampula, Sofala, and Zambezia. The initiative aims to address the high maternal mortality rate, driven by a combination of high fertility rates and inadequate access to family planning and reproductive healthcare. Key components include raising demand for reproductive health services, expanding equitable service delivery options, and enhancing commitment to the national family planning program at all health system levels. To achieve these goals, the project will implement evidence-based practices, foster collaboration with local organizations, and ensure capacity building for sustainability post-project. Monitoring will leverage existing health systems and draw on past lessons learned from similar initiatives. The overall impact seeks to empower women and couples to exercise their reproductive rights and achieve better health outcomes, thereby contributing to social justice and human capital development in Mozambique.
