Center for Monitoring & Evaluation and Advocacy
The Center for Monitoring & Evaluation and Advocacy (MEA) is committed to empowering women and improving their health outcomes through innovative data-driven solutions. Our team leverages cutting-edge tools and methodologies to analyze vast amounts of survey data, service statistics, and modeled estimates, providing actionable insights to guide evidence-based decision-making.
By standardizing and advancing reproductive health monitoring and evaluation practices, we have significantly impacted global health initiatives. Our work has been adopted by numerous country governments, international organizations, and donors to monitor progress and inform strategic planning.
The center takes a unique approach to data analytics, processing and interpreting large datasets to identify trends and disparities in women's health. Our user-friendly tools and visualizations empower our partners in data to:
- Develop and Implement Effective Policies: Inform the development and refinement of policies that address women's health needs, such as family planning and maternal and child health.
- Increase Financing: Advocate for increased funding for women's health programs by providing compelling data and evidence.
- Prioritize Interventions: Identify critical areas for intervention and allocate resources efficiently.
- Monitor Progress and Impact: Track progress towards health goals and measure the impact of interventions.
The MEA team is dedicated to building sustainable capacity within government systems. By leveraging existing infrastructure and training local staff, we empower countries to independently collect, analyze, and utilize data to improve women's health outcomes. Our more recent work in health information systems has transformed data agency among women clinical managers by increasing their access to data at the subnational level.
By harnessing the power of data, we drive positive change for women's health worldwide.
