Department of State
The State Department received a 77.3 (C+) for Maternal and Child Health primarily because it has persistently low transparency in policy and funding data.
US Agency for International Development
USAID received an 87.4 (B+) in Maternal and Child Health because the new Acting on the Call document was positively scored.
Department of Health and Human Services
The Department of Health and Human Services received a 69.4 (D+) for Maternal and Child Health because it has very low transparency in policy and funding data.
Department of Defense
Congress
Congress received a 77.3 C+ in Maternal and Child Health because although no significant new legislation was passed on maternal and child health, Congress does not have full transparency in its maternal and child health policy and funding information.
White House
The White House received a 78.7 (C+) for Maternal and Child Health, because the Global Gag Rule, enacted this year, negatively impacts sexual and reproductive health broadly, including maternal and child health.
