MEASURE Phase III Monitoring and Assessment for Results
MEASURE Phase III: Monitoring and Assessment for Results The objective of MEASURE Phase III Monitoring and Assessment for Results (MMAR-III) is improved collection, analysis and presentation of data to promote better use in planning, policy-making, managing, and monitoring and evaluating population, health and nutrition (PHN) programs. MMAR-III is implemented by The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), in partnership with Constella Futures (CF), John Snow Inc. (JSI), Macro International (Macro), Management Sciences for Health (MSH) and Tulane University, Dept. for International Health. Underlying our approach is a conceptual framework developed for MEASURE Evaluation Phase II (ME-II). The conceptual framework is based on a on a cycle of generating demand for information, improving data collection, making data more available as information that is appropriately communicated, and facilitating the use of information to inform decisions. This information use cycle aims to improve health systems and, ultimately, health outcomes, and is nested within a larger context of capacity building, coordination and collaboration. The project will conduct evaluation research, methodological research related to health information systems (HIS) and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems, and short and long term training in M&E in partnership with regional training institutions in at least five countries, and will provide technical assistance in approximately 30 countries worldwide to strengthen HIS and M&E systems across the information use cycle. The project will cover all aspects of health covered by the Bureau for Global Health (BGH) of USAID including HIV/AIDS, family planning and reproductive health, malaria, TB, maternal and child health, avian influenza, water and sanitation, and other public health threats, although the majority of work will be in HIV/AIDS.
