Over the last several years, a concerted effort by IAWG members under the leadership of Save the Children and UNICEF led to the development of an inter-agency newborn health in humanitarian settings field guide and associated newborn supply kits. While newborn health care delivery has garnered interest and funding in the last year, there is still a lot to do to ensure that it is systematically integrated and delivered. To further global commitment and be held accountable, we are proposing the development of a five-year strategic vision and workplan.
