      <image:caption>On Monday, 30 June, EQUAL and the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) hosted a webinar on Midwifery in Crisis-Affected Contexts.  The webinar focused on the transition from education to early practice for midwives working in some of the world’s most fragile health systems.  Colleagues in Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria, shared evidence and lived experiences on the realities midwives face—and the urgent need for improved protection, support, and investment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Political Economy Analyses: Prioritization of Maternal and Newborn Health in Conflict-Affected Contexts - Global data underscore a sobering reality; countries grappling with humanitarian crises shoulder a significant burden of global maternal and newborn mortality rates, demanding urgent, targeted interventions in these contexts. To unpack the intricate dynamics of national/subnational maternal and newborn health (MNH) prioritization amidst crisis and conflict, the EQUAL research consortium embarked on a series of political economy analyses in Somalia (national), South Sudan (national), Nigeria (subnational – Yobe State), and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, national and subnational – North and South Kivu), complemented by a global policy study.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Maternal health is not just a women’s issue – Q&amp;amp;A with Charity Maina - Charity: Similar to what led me to become a nurse, I found a mentor this time in Dr. Emilia Iwu -- who is now my supervisor at IHVN and part of the EQUAL consortium.  Before I met Dr Emilia, I had rarely met such an accomplished woman, a nurse/ midwife with a PhD -- seeing her passion and expertise showed me that a PhD was also possible for me. She was patient in teaching me about methodologies like conducting in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to help answer questions and it excited me. What I like about research is the problem saving. That you can look at the most basic issue, collect information, analyze it, and then find a solution.  Using that information to help other women brings me a lot of joy.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Maternal health is not just a women’s issue – Q&amp;amp;A with Charity Maina - Charity: Yes, like in other countries, midwifery in Nigeria is mostly women. Despite our ability as midwives to deliver the majority of MNH care, our work is undervalued. But because midwifery is made up of mostly women, the problem starts with education. Nigeria is a very dynamic country and things vary drastically not only between the different states but also between individual families in the same areas. My dad was the Commissioner for Education and my mother was a teacher so education was always a priority in my family -- my father was always pushing me to think about my future.  Unfortunately, that isn’t the case for many young girls in Nigeria who don’t have the money or encouragement to get an education and the support to find a career they are passionate about. Things are more difficult in the northern part of the country where early and forced marriages are common and lead to school dropouts. With so many adolescent females not getting an education, it is difficult to recruit midwives. I think these women and young girls need the type of mentorship and role models that I had.</image:title>

      <image:title>Research Themes - Political Economy Analysis</image:title>
      <image:caption>Maternal and newborn health (MNH) has been largely neglected in low-income, conflict-affected settings, as demonstrated by limited donor funding and research.  Existing studies rarely examine the unique challenges of delivering health care in conflict-affected settings. These challenges are related to insecurity, political will/stability, and severe funding gaps – all of which impact how issues are prioritized and policies are developed and funded.  A careful examination of the political and financial factors driving MNH policymaking in each country will shed light on the factors that shape policy design, implementation and funding.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research Themes - Community-based Maternal &amp; Newborn Health</image:title>
      <image:caption>While medical care provided at a health facility is recommended, it is not always possible in crisis-affected communities where health systems are weak, facilities are damaged or distant, and trained providers are limited.  In these cases, community health systems – including the support of community health workers (CHWs) - are often the only option for delivering life-saving services. Despite this, there is limited evidence around how community health programs can be used to ensure women and newborns have continuous access to quality care.  EQUAL aims to fill this evidence gap with research on using community health systems for MNH data collection and service delivery.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research Themes - Facility-based Quality of Care</image:title>
      <image:caption>To end all preventable maternal and neonatal deaths, services such as those included in emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC) are critical. Unfortunately, the interventions and delivery mechanisms that would ensure these life-saving services are accessible and high quality in low-income, conflict-affected settings remain unclear. EQUAL partners will conduct an assessment of midwifery education and services and execute an evaluation of the quality of care available in health facilities.</image:caption>
