Our Work
- Theresa Finn, MEASURE Evaluation
MEASURE Evaluation's work follows a conceptual framework that emphasizes a cycle of generating demand for information, improving data collection, making data more available, and facilitating the use of information to inform decisions. This information-use cycle, nested within a larger context of capacity building, coordination, and collaboration, aims to improve health systems and, ultimately, health outcomes.
Avian Influenza
Worked with various programs to help establish and strengthen M&E systems.
Capacity Building
Enabling M&E organizations and individuals to generate relevant quality data, analyze it, and use data to improve program planning and decision making, thus improving health systems.
Data Demand and Use
Applying proven best practices and appropriate tools to increase demand for health system data and ensure that the information is used in an evidence-based decision-making process.
Evaluation
Guiding decisions about which programs are most effective and how to allocate scarce resources; providing information that can help to refine program operations and make programs more effective.
Family Planning and Reproductive Health
Examining fertility motivations in varying contexts and sub-populations to inform strategies to prevent unintended pregnancies and reduce HIV risk in sub-Saharan Africa.
Gender
Illuminating gender norms and inequalities and their influence on health-seeking behavior.
Geographic Information Systems
Geographic cognizance and tools such as GIS can lead to better data and gives users the power to produce data products to more effectively understand and communicate the story the data is able to tell.
Health Information Systems
Producing timely and quality information about what is happening in health sectors.
HIV/AIDS
Working to advance the monitoring and evaluation of HIV/AIDS programs worldwide through coordinated efforts to produce strategic information tools.
Knowledge Management
Creating on-demand access to knowledge, so that every situation may be addressed with the sum of everything learned from a similar situation.
Malaria
Measuring achievements of malaria control efforts and supporting national malaria control programs to establish and strengthen information systems that will help monitor program performance.
Organization Development
Building strong, dynamic, and sustainable leadership and organizations with customized organization development assistance.
Orphans and Vulnerable Children
Helping to improve programs for orphans and vulnerable children by facilitating the collection and use of much-needed data about programs and populations.
Secondary Analysis of Data
Increasing the evidence-base on program impact and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of recent evaluation methodological developments.
Tuberculosis
Supporting global standards for TB monitoring and evaluation; capacity building and technical assistance; development of TB tools and supporting country information systems; and evaluation/research.
