Reach Every Mother and Child Act of 2023
The Reach Every Mother and Child Act of 2023 directs U.S. foreign aid to end preventable maternal, newborn, and child deaths globally by 2030, focusing on priority countries with high mortality rates and vulnerable populations like the poorest communities, conflict-affected areas, and indigenous groups. It requires the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to create a 5-year strategy identifying specific health barriers, setting measurable targets, and scaling evidence-based interventions through community-based approaches. A new "Child and Maternal Survival Coordinator" will oversee implementation, coordinate with partner countries and organizations, and ensure resources align with proven health solutions. Annual reports to Congress must track progress using metrics like deaths averted, service coverage, and funding allocations for transparency and accountability.
