The Countdown to 2030 national collaboration in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a partnership between the Kinshasa School of Public Health; the Ministry of Public Health, Hygiene and Prevention; and the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. This project is tailored to the needs of the DRC government to produce scientific evidence and strengthen the country's analytical capacity in order to inform the country's annual and mid-term reviews of health progress and performance, with a focus on reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health and nutrition (RMNCAH+N). Particular emphasis will be placed on the reproductive health of women, children and adolescents.
