ABSTRACT
This chapter represents an ideal example of how a multi-stakeholder collaboration has evolved to address antenatal care in low-middle-income countries. The value co-creation aspect has emerged as particularly effective to favour partners’ commitment, and the development of ownership and mutual trust. In the case of a multi-stakeholder partnership aiming to achieve social impact in fragile settings, the challenges inherent to trust formation are even more acute than in traditional collaboration arrangements. The chapter presents the case of the High-Risk Pregnancy (HRP) Referral Cards: a low-tech, low-cost checklist to support the identification and communication of symptoms that can lead to risky pregnancies, before they become life-threatening. The collaborative project started with gathering insights from the International Committee of the Red Cross health delegates from the field of operation and to identify antenatal care issues faced in relation to the local infrastructural, socio-economic and cultural challenges.
