Evidence for Action (E4A) is a five year programme (2011-2016) funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) to improve maternal and newborn survival through a combined focus on evidence, advocacy and accountability across six sub-Saharan African countries:
Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Tanzania. E4A brings together experts from academic institutions, internationally recognised advocacy and accountability coalitions and civil society organisations . It works through local institutions in each of the six selected countries, which host the E4A Country Team. These teams are supported by technical support units led by one of the E4A Consortium Partners. In the case of Nigeria, this is Options Consultancy Services Ltd.
In each country and at a regional level, E4A is launching a locally driven programme under an umbrella E4A regional advocacy campaign known as ‘Mamaye’. The campaign has a clear focus on survival and positive stories rather than a resigned social acceptance of death in pregnancy and childbirth which is common throughout Africa.
