The World Bank, World Health Organization, United Nations Fund for Population Activities, and several agencies launched the Safe Motherhood Initiative at a conference in 1987 with the goal to decrease maternal illness and deaths by half by the year 2000. This strategy was intended to make family planning services and maternal health care more effective. At a follow-up conference at the World Bank on the Safe Motherhood Initiative, international agency representatives and maternal health experts worked to assist in transforming the effort from advocacy to action. The information presented is an outgrowth of that meeting and is intended to assist Bank operations staff in their work on safe motherhood programs.
