Momentum Country and Global Leadership
Momentum Country and Global Leadership (MCGL), funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is a global mechanism that saves lives and improves access to quality, integrated health services by distributing life-saving commodities, medicines, and vaccines, and providing critical health care services for pregnant mothers and children under five. The project provides safe childbirth for mothers and babies, vaccinates children, treats deadly illnesses and malnutrition, and controls disease outbreaks.
The project has partnered with local entities—including ministries of health, the private sector, and faith-based organizations—in more than 20 countries to deliver this life-saving targeted assistance, accelerating progress and strengthening health institutions’ abilities to provide health services into the future. By saving women, babies, and children, preventing malnutrition, and addressing health security, MOMENTUM not only creates goodwill for the United States but makes America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.
