OpportunityTitle: MEASURE Evaluation Phase IV
Description: The U.S. Agency for International Development intends to award a five-year, $181 million dollar, Leader with Associates Cooperative Agreement. The Monitoring and Evaluation to Assess and Use Results (MEASURE) Evaluation Phase IV Project builds on the decades-long effort supported by the Global Health Bureau to improve monitoring and evaluation (M&amp;E) in the health sector. The objective of the MEASURE Evaluation Phase IV project is to strengthen host-country systems to generate high quality health information that is used for decision-making at local, national, and global levels. Progress toward this objective will contribute to improving health programs and policies, which ultimately will impact health outcomes. The project will achieve this objective by concentrating on four results: (1) Strengthened collection, analysis and use of routine health data, (2) Improved country-level capacity to manage health information systems (HIS), resources and staff, (3) Methods, tools and approaches improved and applied to address health information challenges and gaps, (4) Increased capacity for rigorous evaluation
