The Countdown to 2030 country collaboration in Mozambique is led by Instituto Nacional de Saude, which works closely with the Ministry of Health, with technical support from International Center for Equity in Health at the Universidade Federal de Pelotas, Brazil. It aims to strengthen the analysis and synthesis of health data to inform national and local reviews of progress and performance in the context of the national health plans and Global Financing Facility (GFF) investment case for reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH+N).  

Mozambique has a Strategic Plan of the Health Sector 2014-2019 (Extensions 2020-2024) that guides interventions to improve the health of the Mozambican people, especially maternal and child health.
