BOTSWANA: African Union Acts on High Mother And Child Mortality Rate
Sunday Standard reported on 7 March on the local launch of CARMMA, noting that the launch of CARMMA in Maun was based on the growing concern that there is a continuous growth of the maternal mortality rate on women and children around the world, especially in Africa. The event was organized by the African Union in conjunction with UNFPA and the Ministry of Health. The concept of CARMMA was derived from the 2005 AU Policy Framework for the promotion of Sexual Reproductive Health and rights in Africa and the 2008 Maputo Plan of Action
