Summary:Abstract The concept of public–private partnerships as a way to tackle global health problems is discussed. It is noted that surveys of such partnerships have not included contraception and contraceptive research and development (R&D), since pregnancy is not regarded as a disease. Nevertheless, there has been an attempt to apply the concept to improve maternal health through establishment of the Consortium for Industrial Collaboration in Contraceptive Research (CICCR) and its involvement with the AMPPA projects. The outcome of the CICCR initiative is discussed. Actions for the future are outlined.
