Maternal & Child Survival Program: Knowledge, Practices and Coverage (KPC) Household Survey for Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluating Community Based Newborn Care (CBNC) Ethiopia (2015 & 2017)
Description
Ethiopia was one of the countries supported by USAID through the Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) to roll out a Community-Based Newborn Care (CBNC) program from October 2014- December 2017, also referred to as Newborns in Ethiopia Gaining Attention (NEGA). The project covered four regional states of Ethiopia: Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, and SNNPR, representing 86% of the country’s total population. The overall goal of the MCSP CBNC/NEGA project is to contribute to the reduction of neonatal morbidity and mortality in Ethiopia through capacity-building to provide high-impact services both at the community and the Primary Health Care Unit (PHCU) level. A baseline survey was carried out in 2015 to obtain the benchmarks for key maternal and newborn health indicators, and an endline was carried out in 2017.
