 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Reach Every Mother and Child Act of 2015

This bill directs the President to:

  • establish a five-year strategy to achieve, with target countries and donors, the goal of ending preventable maternal, newborn, and child deaths globally and ensure healthy and productive lives within a generation; and
  • provide assistance to implement the strategy.

The President shall designate a current U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employee serving in the Senior Executive Service or at the level of a Deputy Assistant Administrator or higher to serve concurrently as the Maternal and Child Survival Coordinator, who shall be responsible for:

  • overseeing such strategy, and
  • all U.S. government funds appropriated or used for international maternal and child health and nutrition programs.

The U.S. government, through USAID and other relevant executive branch agencies, should identify and remove financial barriers to strengthen access to delivery systems for vulnerable and marginalized populations by leveraging public and private capital to expand delivery of interventions for maternal, newborn, and child health.
