Country Data, Universal Accountability: Monitoring Priorities for the Global Strategy for Women, Children and Adolescents Health (2016-2030)

The Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016-2030) came into effect alongside the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in January 2016. Its vision is to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by guiding transformative change that enables every woman, child and adolescent – in every setting – to realize their full potential and their human right to the highest-attainable standard of health. It is put into action by the Every Woman Every Child (EWEC) movement, which supports country-led implementation through aligned multi-stakeholder commitments, technical support, financing and a Unified Accountability Framework.

This report assesses the worldwide state of readiness to begin monitoring of progress using the Indicator and Monitoring Framework of the Global Strategy.
