When Midwives Lead and Manage

The LMG for Midwifery Managers Certificate Course was first developed with LMG Project partner Amref Health Africa in 2014. In total, over two training cohorts, the LMG Project trained 20 local facilitators who went on to train an additional 99 midwife participants.

This report assesses the relative success of midwife participants’ action plans according to two criteria: 1. Progress made toward achievement of the target defined in the action plan, and 2: Perceived changes in service delivery due to the utilization of leadership, management, and governance skills
