COPE® (Client-Oriented, Provider Efficient) is a quality-improvement approach originally developed by Engenderhealth for improving family planning services, and subsequently adapted for a range of reproductive health services. COPE® for Maternal Health Services was developed by EngenderHealth, with FCI’s support, to help health facility staff assess the quality of maternity care services that they provide and then improve those services. See COPE® for Maternal Health Services: Experiences in the Field for a more detailed description of the SCI experience implementing the COPE® method to improve the quality of maternity services.

Skilled Care Initiative Delivers Impressive Results

Between 2003 and 2005, FCI worked with Ministries of Health in Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Tanzania to improve the quality and availability of maternity care, improving services for thousands of women. Through an ambitious research effort, FCI evaluated and documented key strategies for increasing skilled care during childbirth.
