Partner Assembly
The Partner Assembly is the collective forum of all Every Pregnancy coalition members. It ensures that our work remains partner-led, inclusive, and grounded in the realities of communities most affected by maternal mortality. The Assembly guides strategic priorities, reviews collective progress, and provides a vital link between partners and the Advisory Board, reinforcing shared ownership and transparent decision-making across the coalition.
