This article studies how six key aid effectiveness principles for "Hitting the bull's eye" can bring about the scale up of maternal and newborn health (MNH) interventions. These key principles are based on accepted international agreements such as the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. The results indicate that the six principles should be a guide for recipient countries to take ownership of the development process and work with donors to plan effective coordination structures. Countries that take ownership will be able to work with donors and implementers to not only test new interventions that address pressing challenges to deliver quality MNH care but also include the successful knowledge transfer and handover of these interventions, the effective integration of the new intervention as part of the country's health system and a costed scale-up plan. The article could have been strengthened with clear and actionable recommendations for the three countries to improve their ownership of donor-funded assistance, but it showed that there is need to change how aid is delivered and that embracing and applying these principles will help countries take ownership of MNH programs and lead the dialog and effective scale up with those involved. The authors should be commended on taking the lead in the field of aid effectiveness, and encouraged to conduct quantitative and further qualitative measurements of the application of their findings in the three counties included in the study.
本文研究了“击中要害”的六项关键援助实效原则如何促进母婴健康（MNH）干预措施的扩大。这些关键原则基于《巴黎援助实效宣言》等国际公认协议。研究结果表明，这六项原则应该成为受援国主导发展进程的指南，并与捐助方合作规划有效的协调结构。能够主导发展进程的国家将能够与捐助方和执行者合作，不仅测试新的干预措施，以解决提供优质母婴保健服务方面的紧迫挑战，还包括成功地进行知识转让和新干预措施的交接，有效地将新干预措施纳入国家卫生系统，并制定成本效益的扩大计划。本文本可以提出更明确和可行的建议，以提高这三个国家对捐助资金援助的主导权，但它表明有必要改变援助的提供方式，而采用和应用这些原则将有助于国家主导母婴健康方案，并引领涉及该方案的各方进行对话和有效扩大规模。作者应该因其在援助实效领域的带头作用而受到赞扬，并鼓励他们对所研究的三个国家应用其研究结果的情况进行定量和进一步的定性衡量。
