To accelerate improvements in maternal and newborn health and progress towards Millennium Development Goal 5, UNFPA (the United Nations Population Fund) has launched two thematic funds to provide additional support to countries most in need. Funding from these two sources - the Global Programme to Enhance Reproductive Health Commodity Security (GPRHCS) and the Maternal Health Thematic Fund (MHTF) - complements UNFPA core resources and other funding mechanisms, including H4+ funding, and is used to implement and scale up interventions to promote maternal and newborn health.
