PMNCH Knowledge Summaries: improving their production process, reach and use

The PMNCH Knowledge Summaries contribute to an increased emphasis on evidence-informed policy and practice within the reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health community. They aim to synthesise scientific evidence in a clear and concise format in order to support advocacy, policy and practice, on a range of topics related to reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH).

In 2014 the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, in collaboration with PMNCH, carried out two studies on the Knowledge Summaries to review the development process, find out about the summaries’ reach and use, as well as how their relevance to the RMNCH community could be improved.
