For over 60 years, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has developed programs and partnerships to save the lives of women, newborns, and children. Together with our partners, USAID’s maternal and child health and nutrition programs focus on achieving a common vision: A world where healthy and well-nourished women, newborns, and children have the same chance of survival, regardless of where they are born.

USAID works in partnership with host country governments, the civil and private sectors, faith-based organizations, and other key partners to save lives by ensuring families and their communities have equitable access to quality, respectful care.
