Maternal mortality continues to be a major public health concern in Ghana where women still die from preventable maternal deaths. Several factors contribute to the high maternal mortality in the country including delay in seeking skill birth attendance, sociocultural factors among others. This study aims to analyze the role of gender in accessing skilled birth attendance in Ghana.

This end evaluation covers the full project period from the start (April 2019) until the end (March 2022). The evaluation focused on measuring the effects of the project for primary stakeholders (AMOG, implementing parties) and secondary stakeholders (actors the society aimed to influence). The effects of the project on tertiary stakeholders are beyond the scope of this evaluation because the aim of the project was to strengthen the societies, and influence policy and the attitudes of healthcare workers and the public at large.

Worldwide, the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 disproportionally affect vulnerable groups in society. This paper assesses responses to, and impacts of, the pandemic among mobile migrant populations who work in Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) in Suriname and French Guiana. These populations are characterized by poverty, informal or illegal status, and limited access to health care and information. Field research in Suriname (November 2020–January 2021) and French Guiana (January, May, June 2021) included qualitative interviews, informal conversations and observations, and a quantitative survey with 361 men and women in ASGM communities.

The CGIAR Research Program on Livestock provided research-based solutions to help smallholder farmers, pastoralists, and agro-pastoralists transition to sustainable and resilient livelihoods, and to profitable enterprises that will help feed future generations. The aim of the program was to increase the productivity and profitability of livestock agri-food systems in sustainable ways, making meat, milk, and eggs more available and affordable across low-and middle-income countries.

This evaluation includes an assessment of the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the project. From its start, attention was given to strengthening AOGU with the intention that societies would continue to flourish after the grant ends. Therefore, the evaluation assessed the extent to which the societies were strengthened and the likelihood that this would be sustained. Similarly, when looking at programmatic sustainability, an assessment was formed of the likelihood of societies and networks continuing their work towards improving access to safe abortion. Finally, the scope of this evaluation includes the sustainability of the outcomes.
