Abstract:
Data Demand and Information Use (DDIU or DDU) is a strategy to identify opportunities for and constraints to effective and strategic data collection, analysis, availability, and use. This strategy begins with an assessment that helps stakeholders, policy-makers, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practitioners determine points of entry for DDIU intervention. Once specific needs are identified, DDIU core tools can be utilized to stimulate data demand and capacity building and enhance evidence-based decision making.

TB DIAH will run until September 2023, PMI Measure Malaria until June 2024, and D4I until September 2023.

MEASURE Evaluation is funded by USAID to strengthen capacity in developing countries to gather, interpret, and use data to improve health. We create tools and approaches for rigorous evaluations, providing evidence to address health challenges. And we strengthen health information systems so countries can make better decisions and sustain good health outcomes over time.
