Maternal Wellbeing Measure

This Canada–East Africa initiative aims to create the Maternal Well-being Measure (MWM)—a groundbreaking tool designed to promote equity, empower Indigenous women and enhanced maternal wellbeing.

 The MWM will enable communities, local governments, and organizations to assess maternal well-being using indicators developed in collaboration with the communities themselves. By identifying gaps and needs that impact women, girls, and their babies, this tool will guide targeted actions to improve health and well-being at both local and global levels.
