Abstract
The brief focuses on the effectiveness of maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) and presents the results of a BF-APEA process in East Nusa Tenggara province. The approach involves understanding the political economy of each identified behavior, validating research, and co-creating strategies to address factors influencing behaviors. The brief highlights the importance of addressing the root causes of ineffective MPDSR, rather than just providing training, to reduce preventable maternal and neonatal deaths.
