The countdown collaboration in Rwanda is led by The School of Public Health/College of Medicine and Health Sciences/University of Rwanda (UR-CMHS-SPH). It will play an important role in supporting the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) in building the capacity to conduct analytical work to inform the reviews. The UR-CMHS-SPH will be engaged in the analytical process on a more continuous basis, working closely with the MOH and development partners, and drawing from solid in-depth analytical work, with a focus on evidence generation for regular reviews of progress and performance of the RMNCAH+N program in Rwanda.

The country collaboration works on analysis during the 2025 annual meeting.
