In 2022, ICM launched its first Twin to Win pilot project — a two-year initiative in which Member Associations (MAs) from similar contexts were matched and supported to develop and deliver joint and individual projects.

Working with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), ICM has set out to deliver a broad range of initiatives designed to further contribute to the professionalisation of midwifery globally and strengthen ICM’s member associations (MAs) both locally and regionally, focusing on advocacy, education, respectful maternity care and quality midwifery consulting services.

The More Happy Birthdays Project, supported by Latter-day Saint Charities (LDSC) and the Rwanda Ministry of Health (MoH), has improved the provision and experience of care for women and newborns in Rwanda by training maternal and newborn health providers in life-saving skills.

With support from Direct Relief, ICM has provided emergency grants to Türkiye, Morocco, and Ukraine as part of our response to humanitarian and climate related crises.

50,000 Happy Birthdays was led by ICM and national midwives’ associations (MAs) in Ethiopia, Rwanda and Tanzania. The programme ran from 2018 – 2020, and aimed to train, equip and support MAs, midwives and other health care providers with the skills they need to save the lives of mothers and newborns.
