SAMEA recently published its 6th Biennial Conference report. Reflecting on Khulisa’s experience at SAMEA, senior health associate, Puveshni Crozier captured her five takeaways from the Conference:
- Stakeholder mapping and engagement is key to meeting expectations of evaluations
- Institutionalised engagement between programme and M&E staff is critical for continuous quality improvement
- Repetitive feedback and capacity building at service delivery points around data quality improves use of data for decision making
- Integration, analysis and visualisation of multiple data streams improves uptake of data for decision-making
- The goals of the health information management systems are to generate high quality data and to use data for decision making
