Official launch of guidance document & accompanying WHO capacity strengthening materials

'Analysis and use of health facility data: guidance for MNCAH programme managers' describes a catalogue of indicators for maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (MNCAH) that can be monitored through health management information system data. The document provides guidance on possible analysis and visualization of the indicators, including considerations for interpreting and using the data for decision-making.

To accompany this guidance, WHO has developed presentation and exercise materials, including a facilitator guide, that can be used in workshops to strengthen capacity of analysis, interpretation, and use of data by MNCAH managers.

This webinar introduced the guidance document and capacity strengthening materials, and shared how programme managers and partners can use these resources.
