The State of the World’s Midwifery (SoWMy) 2021 is coming! The report will focus on the progress and future challenges to deliver effective coverage and quality midwifery services. This will be the third State of the World’s Midwifery report.
The SoWMy data 2021 will be collected via the WHO’s National Health Workforce Accounts (NHWA) data platform and now another set of data will be collected from the ICM Member Associations.
ICM and UNFPA ask that the Midwives’ Associations engage in and LEAD the collection of the data, with the support of the UNFPA Country offices where possible. All members can participate and there are no eligibility criteria except for the data to be valid.
We ask Member Associations to collect and submit the data via the survey. The survey has been divided into four shorter versions. There are a total of 82 questions. Don’t be discouraged!
The SoWMy 2021 data will also be shared on a redesigned ICM Global Midwives Association Map.
