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 the U.S. Agency for International Development, 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 PSI-led MOMENTUM Private Healthcare Delivery project supports countries—including Niger—to improve the quality of care provided by the private health care sector and increase opportunities for a total market approach to quality services, products and information in the areas of maternal, newborn and child health, family planning and reproductive health.
