Author(s): MEASURE Evaluation

Year: 2017

Abstract:

In this Phase, MEASURE Evaluation was focused on increasing capacity in low- and middle-income countries to collect quality data to build a body of evidence around health, improve analysis of those data, and help bring about better use of data for decision making to improve the health of people.

The project did this in six main ways: sharing data and knowledge, mentoring health professionals to improve skills, building systems to support collection and analysis of data, fostering innovative ways to gather and use data, leading in national and global circles to shape policies and best practice, and evaluating the effectiveness of public health policies and interventions. This report summarizes the accomplishments of the project during those six years.
