Emergency Transport Scheme (ETS) in Gombe State, Nigeria [2009- 2011]

(Part 4  – Final Monitoring and Evaluation)

In Gombe State, Northern Nigeria, a two year Maternal and Neonatal Health (MNH) Learning Project has been in place since late 2009. The two year project concluded in 2011. Recognising that only a small percentage (17%) of births occurs at health facilities across the State, while the large majority of womenstill give birth at home, the project aims to test different MNH practices at the household level, in order to identify successful models that can be replicated and scaled up.
