Background information for question 7

  • The only way we will end poverty is to put women and mothers at the front and centre of all our efforts

    Andrew Mitchell
    UK Development Secretary

DFID is currently reviewing its multilateral aid programme to determine how we can achieve better value for money for the taxpayer and accelerate progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. The outcome of the review will inform the development of our new reproductive, maternal and newborn health business plan.

DFID currently supports work to improve reproductive, maternal and newborn heath in the developing world through the following multilateral organisations:

  • European Commission (EC)
  • United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
  • United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
  • The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)
  • World Bank
  • World Health Organization (WHO)
