In Kenya, with USAID support, the Population Council’s FRONTIERS in Reproductive Health project supported the scale up of a model that enabled women to give birth at home or to be referred to a hospital when attended by a self-employed skilled midwife living in the community. This report describes the project and provides recommendations on skills development for the community midwives in: maintaining quality of care, business skills and support to achieve financial sustainability, and strengthening linkages among midwives, the formal health sector and District Health Management Teams.
