PROTECT, a consortium aiming to improve maternal and child health in Africa, has been active for close to a year now, and partners have been busy with preparatory activities and meetings with key stakeholders.

On 10-12 June, the PROTECT consortium met in Entebbe, Uganda, to kick off their collaboration. During this time, partners got to know each other better, while the different work packages progressed some of the ongoing joint work and solidified plans for upcoming activities.
