MEASURE Evaluation
Summary
MEASURE Evaluation was USAID’s flagship mechanism for strengthening health information systems in developing countries. As a Bureau-wide global health cooperative agreement, MEASURE Evaluation worked with missions and their country partners to strengthen systems for collecting and using health information for maternal and child health, family planning and reproductive health, HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and other infectious disease programming. The project enabled countries to safeguard public health and improve lives by strengthening health information systems to generate and use high-quality data to make strategic decisions at local, national, and global levels. We also helped build capacity for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in countries so that results are quantified and adjustments made to allow sustained improvements in a country's journey to self-reliance, improved health equity, and better lives for people.
