European Parliament’s Development Committee Approves More Money to Fight Maternal Mortality |
|
On 30th August, the Development Committee (DEVE) in the European Parliament adopted a pilot project by MEP Michael Cashman for 2.5 million Euros to fight maternal mortality in Rwanda. Focusing on training local health personnel and developing family planning services, this project, if successful, will become a new budget line under the Development Cooperation Initiative (DCI), the European Parliament-controlled development funding mechanism. The project will now be tabled as one of DEVE’s official budgetary amendments for approval by the Budget Committee and then the whole of the parliament.
More information can be found here. Thanks to DSW for their work and information on this issue.

ARROW Launches MDG Campaign |
|
The campaign focuses around MDGs 3 (gender equality) and 5 (maternal mortality) and revolves around three main issues: transparent and participatory governance, strong acknowledgement of the crucial role of NGOs, and a rights-based approach to the MDGs with a focus on equality. The organisers hope to create a shadow country-by-country report of MDG progress. To find out more and to support this unique campaign, click here.
