Project Background
The EMBRACE Project aims to reduce preventable stunting and maternal-child mortality in Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines and Rwanda. The Project’s expected intermediate outcomes are: (1) improved coverage and utilization of gender-equitable and environment-sensitive essential health services by mothers, pregnant women, newborns and children under five years of age; (2) increased gender-equitable consumption of nutritious foods and supplements by mothers, pregnant women and children under five years of age; and (3) increased awareness among Canadian women and men, including youth, of global maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition. Key project gender equality issues identified include: high maternal mortality ratio and insufficient access to health care by women; misconceptions regarding health; low levels of women’s participation in household and public decision making and in the labour market; disparity between men and women’s role in their households, and lack of involvement of men in the care of children, gender based/family violence; mothers & children with disabilities. The EMBRACE Project, funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and ADRA Canada at around $26 mil targets over 102,000 direct beneficiaries (of which 58% are women and girls) in Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines, Rwanda, and Canada. This Project is implemented through a consortium led by ADRA Canada and includes the Hincks-Dellcrest Institute (HDI), and Youth Challenge International (YCI). Additionally, technical partners including Salanga (monitoring and evaluation), Sick Kids Hospital, and Chalkboard Education, provide technical support to the project.
