The Continental Policy Framework calls for mainstreaming of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in primary health care so as to accelerate the achievement of health-related MDGs. It addresses the commonest causes of maternal and newborn child morbidity and mortality, and identifies the implementation of the Roadmap for the Acceleration of the Reduction of Maternal and Newborn Child morbidity and mortality as the strategy for improving reproductive health. The Policy Framework also calls for strengthening of the health sector component in Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers, and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in particular; by implementing the Abuja recommendation of the 2001 Summit of Heads of State and Government to increase resources to health sector thereby improve access to services. By extension the Framework calls for mainstreaming gender issues in socio-economic development programmes, by facilitating improved women’s health thereby increasing their participation in national economic development. It also calls for the development of SRH Commodity Security by including SRH commodities in the Essential Drug Lists and thereby ensures that women do not die needlessly because of lack of basic medicines.
