Résumé :

[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS i4cQR0xx. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. I conducted case studies on the level of political priority given to maternal mortality reduction in 5 countries : Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, and Nigeria. Among the factors that shaped political priority were international agency efforts to establish a global norm about the unacceptability of maternal death ; those agencies'provision of financial and technical resources ; the degree of cohesion among national safe motherhood policy communities ; the presence of national political champions to promote the cause ; the deployment of credible evidence to show policymakers a problem existed ; the generation of clear policy alternatives to demonstrate the problem was surmountable ; and the organization of attention-generating events to create national visibility for the issue. The experiences of these 5 countries offer guidance on how political priority can be generated for other health causes in developing countries.
