Designing and Implementing an Innovative SMS-based alert system (RapidSMS-MCH) to monitor pregnancy and reduce maternal and child deaths in Rwanda
Progress in reducing maternal mortality in developing countries has been rather slow to meet the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target number 5, aiming to improve Maternal Health by reducing maternal mortality by 75% between 1990 and 2015 and achieving universal access to reproductive health by 2015 [1]. Developing countries account for 99% of maternal death worldwide, representing one of the widest health gaps between developed and developing countries. These deaths could be avoided if the proper health resources and services were made available to women.Oct 1, 2012

Implementing the RED approach
The purpose of this Guide is to stimulate interest in improving and sustaining high levels of immunisation coverage in all districts and to give health program managers (governmental and non-governmental), supervisors and health workers practical information about the RED approach. The Guide is intended for adaptation and use by national immunization programmes, as one of several resources that can be used to introduce district health teams and immunisation partners to the RED approach. Once adapted, it can also be used by district health teams and health workers as a quick reference to the five RED components and core monitoring indicators. Another important use for the Guide may be in explaining RED to local officials and other potential supporters of immunisation and PHC services.Mar 1, 2014

ARISE: Drivers of Routine Immunization System Performance at the District Level
Immunization Registry, Peer Learning, Unicef, WHO
Global
In 2011, ARISE conducted in-depth case studies in three countries (Cameroon, Ethiopia, and Ghana) to explore and describe the factors underlying performance improvement in routine immunization in Africa.4 The studies aimed to define the pathways through which specific drivers improved RI system performance (as measured by coverage with the third dose of DTP/Pentavalent vaccine)5 by investigating the experience of 12 districts. This ARISE research brief reports the results of these in-depth studies.

Africa Routine Immunization System Essentials (ARISE): Health System and Community Partnerships
Peer Learning, Unicef, WHO
Global
Closing the equity gap for routine immunizations requires harnessing community resources, including social, political, and in-kind support, to augment those of the health system. How can those resources be brought together productively, and to accomplish what? The ARISE Project, created by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to assemble the evidence on what drives improvements in RI performance in Africa, conducted in-depth studies in Cameroon, Ethiopia, and Ghana to gain a better understanding of these dynamics.
