Overview
2020–2025

MOMENTUM Integrated Health Resilience (MIHR) improved equitable access to quality maternal, newborn, and child health; nutrition; voluntary family planning; and reproductive health care in countries affected by conflict, disasters, population displacement, and other crises. The project strengthened the resiliency of health systems by tailoring program activities to partner countries’ unique needs and contexts. Together with our partners, we strengthened the capacity of local organizations and governments to respond to public health challenges.
