Project Description

The Indonesia Expanding Maternal and Neonatal Survival (EMAS) Project is a cooperative agreement funded by USAID and implemented by Jhpiego Corporation in partnership with RTI International. RTI supports the integration of cross-cutting interventions in governance and information and communication technology (ICT). The project supports the Government of Indonesia by improving the quality of basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric care and neonatal care services in hospitals and health care centers to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality overall by 25%. During the course of implementation, the EMAS Project has improved quality of emergency care and contributed to more equitable access to emergency services by expanding access to and utilization of maternal and neonatal health care to Indonesia's poor and most vulnerable populations. Partnering with Indonesian government agencies (national, provincial and local), civil society organizations (also called civic forums), public and private health facilities, hospital associations, professional organizations, and the private sector, the EMAS team works to accelerate progress toward achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5 (reduced under-five child and maternal mortality rates).
