Partners for Pediatric Progress is a project that began as part of an initiative within the Program in Global Health via the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Their goal is to make a global network of relationships so that there can be an exchange of training support and clinical experience for those participating. In 2008, the Facultad de Medicina Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (EUM), at the Central Hospital of Maputo in Mozambique became the first partnership.

Mozambique has high numbers of individuals under the age of 18 that suffer from fatal neonatal conditions and high mortality rates, thus creating an urgent need for a program like Partners for Pediatric Progress. With less than 20 pediatricians in the country itself, there are no specialty trained pediatric surgeons and specialists to choose from. Partners for Pediatric Progress conducted various surveys of the level of need for the area. The organization is committed to sending the required number of medical specialists ranging from pediatricians to surgeons to Maputo to assist in training and working with other medical staff who are established there.
