A United Nations partnership focused on reproductive, newborn and child health is looking for PR help ahead of a major global forum for government, NGO, academia and private sector leaders in South Africa in June.

“PMNCH”
Dr. Carole Presern, a midwife and anthropologist from the U.K., is director of PMNCH.

The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health, a World Health Organization group comprised of scores of health, medical and university members, released two RFPs this month for media and communications support for product (report) launches and event branding ahead of The Partners' Forum, June 30-July 1 in Johannesburg. That event follows similar forums in 2007 (Dar es Salaam) and 2010 (New Delhi).

PMNCH plans to release four major reports at the June event: State of the World's Midwifery Report; Countdown to 2015; Every Newborn Action Plan, and Success Factors.

For the event branding work, the organization wants a firm to develop content, messaging, media relations, and overall PR for the global conference on a five month contract.

Firms must have experience in global health PR. Proposals are due March 14.
