The Global Financing Facility: Save the Children’s recommendations

The Global Finance Facility (GFF) was proposed at a high-level Every Woman Every Child event during the 69th UN General Assembly in New York, as a new instrument to build long-term domestic and international funding commitments for women’s and children’s health. The World Bank Group and the Governments of Canada, Norway, and the United States of America announced up to $4 billion in financing support to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health, as well as the creation of the GFF in support of Every Woman Every Child. 

Save the Children believes that the proposed Global Financing Facility for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) has the potential to make significant contributions to improving RMNCAH health outcomes and inequalities, provided that it follows a set of principles included in this document.
