Our mission
Improving reproductive, maternal and newborn
health in the developing world is a major priority for
the UK Government.
DFID is developing a new Business Plan, which will
determine our contribution towards achieving
Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 to improve
reproductive and maternal health as well as reducing
newborn deaths (thereby contributing to MDG 4 to
reduce child mortality).
The views and opinions expressed during this
consultation exercise will be used by DFID to give us
a greater understanding of where we should target
our aid interventions.
The new business plan will be published to
