AMREF's evidence in advancing the health of women and children

Abstract

Health development in Africa, and specifically improved health for mothers and children, needs to be based on tested approaches with demonstrable results. In light of the increasing health investments currently being made in Africa, generating and documenting evidence will not only increase value for invested resources but also provide a basis for programme scale-up and influence policy and practice change. The African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) works with African communities to ensure that these investments provide sustainable results.
