Moving Integrated, Quality Maternal, Newborn and Child Health and Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services to Scale (MOMENTUM) is a suite of projects, funded by USAID, that aims to accelerate reductions in maternal, newborn and child mortality and morbidity in high-burden countries by increasing host country commitment and capacity to provide high-quality, integrated health care. Each of the projects has a specific focus area; together they provide a comprehensive, flexible package of support for countries as they overcome context-specific health challenges towards sustainable development. The six-year, Jhpiego-led MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership project focuses on: 1) providing targeted technical and capacity development assistance to our missions, partner countries and local organizations; and 2) contributing to global technical leadership and policy dialogue for improved maternal, newborn and child health, voluntary family planning and reproductive health outcomes. Jhpiego’s sub-partners under this project are: Save the Children, Johns Hopkins University International Vaccine Access Center, Quicksand, Matchboxology, BAO Systems, Avenir Health, McKinsey and Company, PACT, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Christian Connections for International Health, and Ubora Quality Institute.

In Cambodia, the project is working in partnership with DMHSA, provincial health departments, operational districts and local partners to strengthen trauma-informed mental health care in four targeted provinces (Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Preah Vihear and Tboung Khmums). Project approaches and activities are organized by three objectives: 1) capacity of all relevant stakeholders at community, health facility and national levels related to mental health enhanced; 2) systems to support patient entry to the formal health system strengthened; and 3) evidence-based materials developed to make a case for additional resources to support mental health in Cambodia.
