The CSIS Global Health Policy Center will host a public event to highlight lessons learned from the 5-year Saving Mothers, Giving Life (SMGL) initiative. SMGL is a public-private partnership to dramatically reduce maternal and newborn mortality, implemented in Zambia, Uganda, and Nigeria. SMGL was unique in the way it brought together partners across U.S. Government health programs and agencies, as well as external partners and host governments to focus on a singular goal. The event will feature a presentation of the outcomes of 5 years of SMGL programming followed by three high-level panel discussions that will highlight the successes and challenges of the innovative partnership.
