[10 years of the French Muskoka Fund. Impact & future prospects].

Created at the 2010 G8, the French Muskoka Fund represents France's commitment to maternal and child health. This innovative coordination mechanism between four UN agencies (WHO, UN-Women, UNICEF and UNFPA) has helped improving the health and well-being of mothers, newborns, children, teenagers and young people in 9 countries of Western and Central Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo) for the past 11 years. This rare longevity can be explained by its innovative governance structure, its ability to adapt to the local context, its capacity to leverage through high-impact interventions, and its impact on the ground. As the French Muskoka Fund has been renewed for another five years by France in 2021, reflection has been launched to further enhance the catalytic effect of this effective and promising initiative.
