  14. How do donors perform in this regard? • Based on the primary duty bearers and right holders’ needs, priorities. • National Health Strategies as Approaches for ‘strong health system’. • However, the application of single, dual or multiple approaches, Donors have to help the government in developing countries take more accountable and commitments for MCH health intervention as ensure that the rights of children and mothers, particular the vulnerable ones, to high standard quality of care, prevention and treatment.
