[...]the Every Woman Every Child movement attracted more than US$60 billion dollars to women's and children's health between 2010 and 2015, with commitments from over 300 partners.6 The movement has spurred partnership mechanisms to support country-led implementation of the global strategy (2016-2030) - including the Global Financing Facility in support of Every Woman Every Child, the Innovation Marketplace, Unified Accountability Framework and the UN system's health agencies' H6 partnership.1 The global strategy (2016-2030) recognizes that human rights and other fundamental development principles - such as equity, community ownership and development effectiveness - are drivers of transformative change.1 In Peru, principles of equity underpinned a programme of poverty mapping to identify and prioritize reaching poor, rural and indigenous populations with social protection programmes and culturally appropriate, affordable care.7 In Kenya, the institutionalization of human rights principles is benefiting women's health following complaints alleging systematic violation of women's reproductive health rights in health facilities.
