Addis Ababa’s slums face significant maternal mortality rates, necessitating innovative community-driven interventions. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data from health records and qualitative insights from community surveys was employed to assess the CDHV programme's impact on maternal health outcomes. During the study period, there was a notable 25% decrease in reported cases of severe pregnancy complications among participants enrolled in the CDHV programme compared to non-participants. The CDHV programme demonstrated promising results in improving maternal health in Addis Ababa slums, highlighting its potential as an effective strategy for policy implementation. Policy makers should consider scaling up and replicating the CDHV model in other underserved areas to further reduce maternal mortality rates.
