Abstract

This study seeks to investigate how climate change shapes maternal and child health outcomes across the length and breadth of the sub-Saharan region of the African continent. A fundamental intention is to understand policy initiatives steps so far taken to mitigate the impacts of climate change-imposed health outcomes, and to ascertain whether these interventions are effective in achieving that for which they have been designed
