Overview
Funds will support a global conference in 2013 to focus worldwide attention on the urgent need to achieve Millennium Development Goal 5—reducing the maternal mortality ratio by three–quarters—and on interim solutions to improve the health and well-being of women and girls. The conference is anticipated to draw 5,000 participants, including parliamentarians from around the world. The conference will help raise maternal health and sexual and reproductive health to the status of global priorities by increasing awareness of the sound investment in women and girls; increasing knowledge and skills of advocates; and giving decision makers opportunities to connect to and network with their peers and other influential audiences.
