After Muskoka

Med Sante Trop. 2016 Nov 1;26(4):375-376. doi: 10.1684/mst.2016.0614.

Abstract

Substantial progress has been accomplished in reducing maternal, neonatal, and infant mortality, but the work to meet the Millennium Development Goals, boosted by numerous initiatives, including Muskoka, is far from finished. Since 2016, the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the International Strategy for Women's, Children's, and Adolescent Health 2016 - 2030, have provided to the countries and development partners a consistent framework for action enlarged to all of the dimensions of human development, while keeping women, children, and adolescents at its heart. In this context, the Muskoka program, after an initial 5-year cycle, will continue in 2017.

Keywords: Millennium Development Goals; Muskoka; Sustainable Development Goals; aid coordination; and infant mortality; maternal; neonatal.
