Data in Action: The Details
What we do:
- Contribute to strengthening immunization and surveillance systems by improving the availability and use of high quality data.
- Build national capacity to systematically assess and monitor information systems.
Specifically:
- Develop, test, and implement groundbreaking tools and methods to evaluate data quality and the immunization data management cycle.
- Build national capacity in using innovative tools and methods to evaluate data quality assessment through training workshops and field exercises.
- Develop guidelines and self-help materials (such as case studies and training exercises).
