The Countdown to 2030 (CD2030) project advances effective measurement, evaluation and programming to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to improving outcomes for maternal, newborn and child survival. One focus of the Countdown to 2030 is to study six carefully selected positive outlier middle-income countries to tease out drivers of successful progress in maternal and newborn health and survival between 2000 and 2015.
This work is part of the Gates Ventures Exemplars studies and will be led by a Countdown team consisting of University of Manitoba, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Johns Hopkins University. Over the past three decades, Bangladesh has experienced impressive progress in health and population indicators, including one of the fastest declines in maternal and neonatal mortality among low-income and middle-income countries. Niger has made significant progress in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality since 2000 despite a myriad of challenges, including but not limited to high rates of poverty, environmental conditions, and political instability. Over the past year, CD2030 has collected a significant amount of quantitative and qualitative data on the policies, program and context that enabled these dramatic improvements in the health in Bangladesh and Niger. We aim to hire a Research Data Analyst to assist with the synthesis, reporting, and global and country level dissemination of these findings.
