Description

The IDEAS project sought to improve the health and survival of mothers and babies through generating evidence to inform policy and practice. This data collection contains topic guides and other research tools used to assess the feasibility of introducing a Data Informed Platform for Health (DIPH), in order to bring together key data from the public and private health sector on inputs and processes that may influence maternal and newborn health. The DIPH was intended to promote the use of local data for decision-making and priority setting at local health administration level, and for programme appraisal and comparison at regional and zonal level.
