Post Title: Finance Officer

Introduction
Although Yemen has made great strides in reducing the maternal mortality rate, it remains high at 210 deaths per 100,000 live births. Most mothers still deliver at home with little or no support. As a result, many women suffer from hemorrhage, anemia, infections, and/or obstetric fistula, and in many cases, these conditions result in death. Contraceptive prevalence is low at 28 percent with 21 percent in rural and 42 percent in urban areas for any contraceptive method; and 13 percent in rural and 34 percent in urban areas for modern contraceptives.
The reduction of the number of maternal and neonatal deaths as well as the number of deaths of children under five is one of the main expected results listed in the 2010-2025 National Health Policy. The policy defines areas of priority that address maternal and newborn mortality including improving the quality and utilization of health services, and access to emergency obstetric care. A national Reproductive Health Policy was developed that states “In an effort to accelerate maternal and newborn survival toward the achievement of MDGs 4 and 5, the Reproductive Health (RH) department at Population Sector (PS) has focused on two main areas of RH: maternal and newborn health and family planning.” Both areas are addressed through the proposed voucher project.
The Social fund for development will implement the Maternal and Newborn Voucher Project (MNVP) with the objective is to increase the utilization of maternal and newborn health services in the target areas. The MNVP will contribute to the reduction of maternal and child mortality and will contribute to meeting the unmet need for family planning, allowing families to plan and space births. This will also contribute to a reduction in population growth and alleviate pressure on Yemen’s scarce natural resources.
