The REACH Project Team at #COP30! 🌍
We had the privilege of presenting our COP30 report to Her Excellency, Márcia Helena Carvalho Lopes, Minister of Women in Brazil. We explored shared priorities on #climate change and #health, and we’re excited for future engagement to strengthen MCH resilience.

What if we could open the black box of pay-for-performance?
Our new study on Tanzania’s maternal health program uses agent-based modeling to explain the behavior and system mechanisms behind improved facility births—and how better payment timing could unlock more gains.

Our longer-term goal is to develop a robust hybrid model that leverages the strengths of different modelling approaches (system dynamics and agent-based) to capture both demand and supply of maternal and child health services during floods and heatwaves.

The model is built around state charts #tracking women through #pregnancy (antenatal clinic visits and deliveries) and #vaccination of infants. #Next steps include #tailoring the model to #Zambia and #Brazil using #real data and #stakeholder input.

Just back from #IHEA2025 in Bali, Indonesia! I moderated our REACH project session (www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/cen...) with exciting talks on climate impacts on maternal & child health care by @IvanSilva & @ChitaluChama. #ClimateChange #MaternalHealth
REACH | LSHTM
REACH aims to describe the impact and costs of weather extremes on maternal and child health services to support preparedness at the district, facility and community levels in Brazil and Zambia.
