Kenya has secured Sh10.4 billion (USD 80 million) in funding over the next five years to accelerate the implementation of the country’s Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere (EWENE) Acceleration Plan and advance efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths. The investment will support Kenya’s 90-90-80-80 maternal and newborn health targets, with the programme focusing on 21 high-burden counties and nearly 200 high-volume health facilities. It aims to reduce preventable maternal and newborn deaths while strengthening the country’s health system to make it more resilient and sustainable. “The partnership complements the Government’s ongoing maternal and newborn health reforms, including the Maternal and Newborn Health Rapid Results Initiative (RRI) launched by H.E. It will strengthen leadership, improve the quality of care, promote innovation, enhance sustainable financing and reinforce accountability to reduce maternal mortality, newborn deaths and stillbirths,” the ministry said.
