The maternal and Neo-natal Child Health (MNCH) initiative is a 4 years aid programme which operates alongside the PRRINN programme that focuses on strengthening routine immunization in Northern Nigeria. The MNCH programme aims to address the unacceptable high rates of maternal and newborn child mortality and morbidity in some Northern Nigerian States. The programme is funded by the Norwegian government through a partnership with DFID. It is operated by a consortium of three institutions, namely: Health Partners International UK, save the children, UK and GRID Consulting Nigeria.
