ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This manual was developed by an Informal Working Group convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, 6-8 April 1988, and updated in 1994, following results obtained from The application of the WHO partograph in the management of labour: Report of a WHO multicentre study 1990-1991 (WHO/FHE/MSM/94.4). Mrs Helen Kerr prepared the background document for the working group.

WHO gratefully acknowledges the financial contributions made in support of research within the Maternal Health and Safe Motherhood Programme from the governments of Australia, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, the Carnegie Corporation, the Rockefeller Foundation, UNDP, UNICEF, UNFPA and the World Bank.

The WHO appreciates the collaborative effort in preparing and revising the manuals by Dr Christopher E. Lennox and Dr Barbara E. Kwast.
