Meeting
2014
Every year about 15 million babies are born prematurely and more than one million babies die due to complications of preterm birth. Prematurity is the leading cause of newborn deaths in the first four weeks of life and the leading cause of death among children under 5 around the world. At the same time, low birth weight—or babies born too small—is a major contributor of newborn deaths globally .
WHY PREEMIES?
OUR FOCUS
Approximately 85% of all preterm
births are moderate (32 to <37
weeks) and most of these babies
can survive with essential newborn
care. Every Preemie—SCALE will
focus on moderate preterm
newborns and will promote
maternal and newborn management
and care from the
household/community to the from
pre-pregnancy to the postnatal
period.
Every Preemie—SCALE (Scaling, Catalyzing, Advocating, Learning, and Evidence-Driven) Five-year USAID/Washington Cooperative Agreement designed to provide practical, catalytic and scalable approaches for expanding uptake of preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW) interventions in 24 USAID priority countries in Africa and Asia.
Every Preemie—SCALE
The Program will work with partners to identify and overcome bottlenecks to implementation and will significantly increase coverage of PTB and LBW evidence-based interventions in order to increase newborn survival. Global advocacy Demonstration countries Targeted technical assistance Implementation Research Capacity–building with local partners Small grants
Every Preemie—SCALE
Implemented by a consortium comprised of: Project Concern International (PCI)
Global Al l iance to Prevent Prematurity and Sti l lbirth (GAPPS)
American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM)
PCI : leads community capacity building and mobi l ization GAPPS: leads evidence and knowledge sharing, program learning, and Implementation Research ( IR) ACNM : leads health provider capacity bui lding and performance improvement
EVERY PREEMIE CONSORTIUM
Core Package in all USAID priority countries will include: Overall Country Situation Assessment Local Partner and Resource Mapping Evidence Toolkit for adoption and rapid dissemination of evidence-based PTB and LBW interventions, Advocacy and Awareness Raising Module to guide communication on key messages & priority policy changes Assessment f indings wil l shape the
program’s response in Demonstration Countries, priorit ies
for targeted technical assistance, and potential
research .
CORE Package—24 Priority Countries
Country Demonstration Package Four selected countries in partnership with USAID
①Stakeholder workshops : focus on advocacy, policy and key evidence; ②Implementation Research : identify solutions to barriers that inhibit availability and uptake of PTB and LBW interventions; ③Gender and barrier analyses : assist in addressing bottlenecks to care; ④Learning projects: demonstrate how to implement rapid scale -up of PTB and LBW interventions at the community and health facility levels; and ⑤Small grants: catalyze commitment and engagement among strategic country leaders from professional organizations, academia and local NGOs.
DEMONSTRATION COUNTRIES
TARGETED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
Countries ready to accelerate implementation of PTB and LBW interventions or request special inputs to evolving country programs:
- revision of policy
- revision of standards and protocols
- curriculum and training development
- health provider capacity building
- evidenced-based research
- support for HMIS
- overcoming certain bottlenecks
i .e. supplies, gender inequities, etc.
- implementing innovative and promising practices
Global Technical Working Group (TWG) on PTB and LBW Implementation Challenges and Solutions to: Refine IR priorities, Develop PTB and LBW indicators, and Provide focused support for PTB and LBW interventions and approaches.
