Purpose
MEASURE Evaluation Phase III continues the MEASURE program’s
initiative to improve the collection, analysis, and presentation of data to
promote better use in planning, policymaking, managing, monitoring and
evaluating of population, health, and nutrition programs. In line with the
MEASURE Evaluation Phase III Leader, the objective of the MEASURE
Evaluation Phase III Office of Population and Reproductive Health (PRH)
Associate Award is to ensure optimal demand for and analysis of FP/RH
data, and the appropriate use of such information to measure performance
and to inform FP/RH interventions and policies. The program aims to accomplish
this by achieving the following three results:
• Increased collaboration and coordination in efforts to obtain and communicate
FP/RH data in areas of mutual interest;
• Improved design and implementation of M&E frameworks and information
gathering processes including tools, methodologies, and
technical guidance to meet users’ needs; and
• Timely and topical analyses done for improved understanding of FP/
RH dynamics and evidence-based decision making.
Services Provided
The MEASURE Evaluation Phase III PRH Associate Award provides
technical assistance, global leadership, and training to strengthen monitoring
and evaluation of PRH programs. It also works to develop PRH
monitoring and evaluation tools and methodologies, and to conduct PRH
evaluation research. In addition, the PRH Associate Award will facilitate
and strengthen coordination of data collection, analysis, and dissemination
of FP/RH data among PRH CAs and stakeholders, with the aim of providing
guidance on best practices, promising innovations, and setting monitoring
and evaluation standards.
