Re-visioning EmONC

Re-Visioning EmONC was a 5-year (2020-2024) joint project of AMDD, WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).  The goal of the project was to review, rethink, and revise the guidance on planning and monitoring EmONC that had been in use for the prior 25 years.

The revised EmONC Framework together with guidance and tools for adapting and using it can be found at www.emonc.org.  A description of the process used to develop the revised framework and an explanation of the evidence base is included on the emonc.org web site under Tools and Resources.

Over the course of the project, multiple working papers and peer-reviewed articles were generated.  We gather all of them here to provide access to the work of the project.

The EmONC Framework at www.emonc.org is intended to be a living document that can be updated as new norms or measures are established.

We welcome comments, questions, or requests for technical assistance on any aspect of the Framework.  Please contact AMDD at amdd@columbia.edu.
