The Global Strategy (2016-2030) is a roadmap to achieve right to the highest attainable standard of health for all women, children and adolescents –to transform the future and ensure every newborn, mother and child not only survives, but thrives. The new Strategy - updated through a process of collaboration with stakeholders led by WHO - builds on the success of the 2010 Strategy and its Every Woman Every Child movement as a platform to accelerate the health-related Millennium Development Goals and puts women, children and adolescents at the heart of the new UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The 2016 Global Strategy has an Unified Accountability Framework for resources, results and rights at the country, regional and global levels and between different stakeholders and sectors. WHO with Every Woman Every Child, H6 and other partners developed a “Global Strategy Indicator and Monitoring Framework”, aligned with indicators in the SDGs and established global initiatives to minimize reporting burden.

The Operational Framework is intended to accompany the Global Strategy 2016 and to serve as a resource for national governments and the wide diversity of stakeholders within countries whose contributions are vital to improving the health and well-being of women, children and adolescents – including civil society, the private sector and development partners. It offers guidance and options for consideration as countries translate the Global Strategy into national and sub-national strategies and plans, starting with the period 2016-2020.
