Maternity Foundation and the Ethiopian Midwives Association have joined forces to develop a series of activities that further strengthen midwives' access to continued professional development, including leadership training opportunities, access to professional networks, and informal peer-to-peer mentoring. The initiative will support the midwives’ professional growth and increase their motivation through improved access to training and networking opportunities. Training and improved access to information and clinical guidelines has proven to boost midwives’ knowledge and confidence, both of which are important components of providing quality care to pregnant women and newborns. Motivated and well-informed midwives can also play an active role in bringing evidence-supported information to women, so the women can make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
