MEASURE Evaluation works around the world to strengthen the capacity of host-country programs to measure progress in confronting disease, population issues, and poverty.

MEASURE Evaluation is now in Phase III, continuing an 11-year initiative with the objective of improving the collection, analysis and presentation of data to promote better use in planning, policymaking, managing, monitoring and evaluating of population, health and nutrition programs through achieving the following six results:

1. Increased user demand for quality information, methods, and tools for decision making.
2. Increased in-country individual and institutional technical/managerial capacity and resources for the identification of data needs and the collection, analysis and communication of appropriate information to meet those needs.
3. Increased collaboration and coordination in efforts to obtain and communicate health, population and nutrition data in areas of mutual interest.
4. Improved design and implementation of the information gathering process including tools, methodologies and technical guidance to meet users' needs.
5. Increased availability of population, health and nutrition data, analyses, methods and tools.
6. Increased facilitation of use of health, population and nutrition data.
