Editorial: Accountability in maternal and neonatal health programs
As Martin Hilber and her colleagues aptly put it in the first paper in this set of Evidence for Action (E4A) papers, “Accountability has replaced ‘political will’ as the new silver bullet to improve MNH [maternal and newborn health] in Africa” [1]. Of course, there are no silver bullets, but accountability is definitely a notion whose time has come.

Using evidence to strengthen accountability for health financing in Sierra Leone
In 2012, the government of Sierra Leone cut the national budget allocation to the health sector.

As part of the campaign, Evidence for Action produced district health budget tracking scorecards. The scorecards presented Ministry of Finance data on the allocation and disbursement of health funds in each district. (Source: International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics)

Maternal Death Surveillance and Response Systems in driving accountability and influencing change
Good progress has been made in reducing maternal deaths from 1990 –2015 but accelerated progress is needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in ending preventable maternal deaths through a renewed focus on accountability and actions.
