The U.N.'s Africa Renewal reports on maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, citing a U.N. report released in May 2012, "Trends in Maternal Mortality: 1990 to 2010," which "show[s] that maternal mortality has declined by 41 percent in the past 10 years in" the region. The magazine highlights a number of ongoing initiatives to improve maternal mortality on the continent, including "Every Woman, Every Child, initiated by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in September 2010," and the African-led Campaign for the Accelerated Reduction of Maternal Mortality in Africa (CARMMA), which "was set up by the African Union in partnership with UNFPA."
