Monitoring & Evaluation Framework:
A functional M&E system will include strengthening the HMIS from an MNCH perspective, integrating the information generated through LHW Program, undertaking a national study on maternal and newborn health (particularly to measure MMR), expanding the verbal autopsy system for maternal deaths and a system for third party evaluation of service delivery in the public and private sector facilities. An efficient M&E framework ensures that ongoing health management information systems fully incorporate data collection on reliable and valid indicators of MNCH, which will be used to monitor and evaluate the proposed project.
