The NDoH commissioned a mid-term review (MTR) of the maternal, newborn, women, adolescent and child health and nutrition programmes in the health sector in 2014. This was an independent review supported by various stakeholders working towards improving maternal and child health outcomes in the country. The review aimed to understand the current status as well as assess progress on the implementation of the strategy for the maternal, newborn, under-5 child health, adolescent health, women's health and nutrition programs across the country.
