REDUCE-ALIVE is a participatory process and advocacy tool to influence policy actions to reduce maternal mortality and increase newborn survival. Developed by the Academy for Educational Development (AED), this tool raises the profile of women's and newborn health and identifies actions that champions can take to advocate for changes in health policies.
In countries where applications have taken place, REDUCE-ALIVE:
* Supports action to improve maternal and newborn care
* Stimulates policy dialogue and strategic planning on maternal and newborn health (MNH)
* Builds consensus
* Builds capacity
* Promotes MNH as a priority
* Supports integration of newborn health into national maternal and child health plans
* Promotes comprehensive strategies
* Focuses existing resources
* Leverages new resources
* Promotes coalitions in support of women's and newborn health
* Develops the leadership skills of MNH advocates
The Academy has also developed interactive computer advocacy processes in support of nutrition interventions (PROFILES) and the reduction of tariffs and taxes on Insecticide Treated Nets (MoreNets).
