Maternal, Newborn, Child Health and Nutrition (MNCHN) are essential to giving all children a healthy start in life. Research has shown that interventions in these areas are among the most cost-effective and have outsized, lasting impacts on a child’s health, development and well-being. Yet, the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed or even reversed decades of progress that had been achieved in MNCHN, putting marginalised women and children at increased risk of maternal and childhood morbidity and mortality. As such, there is a need to prioritise support for organisations that are working to address challenges in this area. 

Quantedge Advancement Initiative has joined three other organisations to fund the second round of the AVPN Healthcare Pooled Fund, which is focused on MNCHN. 
Picture
AVPN launched the first Philanthropic Pooled Fund in Southeast Asia in December 2020, with the first round of the fund centred on strengthening primary healthcare systems in rural and hard-to-reach urban areas. Building on this, the second round will deploy unrestricted grants to relevant non-profit organisations that are working to improve MNCHN outcomes in Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. 
​

By participating in this pooled fund, Quantedge Advancement Initiative seeks to pool together our resources with other funders to support vulnerable women and children, and collectively achieve impact at scale.
