Improving the quality of maternal and child healthcare (MCH) is a mandatory step on the path to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals and Universal Health Coverage. Quality improvement (QI) in MCH is a strong focus of the bilateral development cooperation provided by Germany to help strengthen the health systems of countries with high maternal and child mortality rates and/or with high unmet needs for family planning. In this article, we report on the findings of an analysis commissioned by a community of practice on MCH, of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The objectives were to review the QI interventions implemented through programmes which have received technical assistance from GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development in 14 Asian and African countries, to identify and describe the existing approaches and their results, and finally to draw lessons learnt from their implementation. Our analysis of the information contained in programme documents and reports identified five main methodologies used to improve the quality of care: capacity-building and supervision, governance and regulation, systemic QI at facility level, support to infrastructures, and community support. It is difficult to attribute the observed progresses in maternal and neonatal health to a particular agency, programme or intervention. We acknowledge that systemic implementation research embedded within the programmes would facilitate an understanding of the determinants of successful QI interventions, would better assess their effectiveness, and therefore better guide future bilateral aid programmatic decisions.

In the Malay community, traditional food packaging is made from a variety of natural ingredients / leaves. The interesting aspect of Malay cakes in the Malay Archipelago is the type of leaves used to wrap food. Examples of leaves used are: banana leaf, upih pinang, baharu leaves, ketapang leaves, yam leaves, pandanus leaves, coconut leaves and rubber tree leaves. However, among these ingredients, banana leaves are very popular and most widely used as wrappers for some Malay food and cakes as wrappers. Uniquely, each type of cake has its own packaging and technique methods, even using the same material from the wrapping material. More unique are some traditional kueh that use coconut leaf and have to go through the woven process to make cone or casing. This privilege requires a skill not everyone, especially this generation. He should be taught this knowledge of woven art / wrapping and the cultural elements behind him will be transferred to a new generation. If not preserved, the country will lose its cultural identity. Modern packaging are using plastic and PVC materials threatens our culture and yet this material will worsen the quality of environmental pollution if the disposal of this waste is not properly managed. In order to pursue this traditional culture, the community is encouraged to plant trees that can be used as packaging of this tradition, around the house and yet contributed for environmental sustainability.

The purpose of this study has been to identify the degree of sustainability in the development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury. The theoretical and empirical investigations were conducted between 2003-2014 based on data from the Local Data Bank. Using a comparative indicator method, 20 indicators were developed, with different directions of preference. The evaluation involves the concept of uniform preference, hence the higher the assessment indicator, the better the situation in the evaluated area unit. Our studies on the sustainable development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury suggest that the indicators measuring the environmental dimension and consequently the quality of life of the residents (in this aspect) score higher than the country's average values. It is also optimistic that some progress, however small, can be seen in this area based on the analyzed dynamics of changes.
