Women’s groups in two Tanzanian districts identify sustainable, culturally relevant strategies for better antenatal care services.

Their messages to boost women’s access to and use of antenatal care services are particularly effective because the women themselves identified the pressing challenges they face. With community support, they also designed strategies to overcome them.
