Population, Health, and Nutrition Surveys in Developing Countries
C&A
is helping developing countries collect and use data to monitor and evaluate
population, health, and nutrition programs through our work on the U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID) Measure
Phase II/Demographic and Health Surveys (Measure DHS) program. Under
a subcontract to Macro
International, Inc., C&A is assisting with the execution of surveys
in developing countries and with the analysis of survey data. Measure
DHS surveys are large, nationally representative efforts, typically including
5,000 to 30,000 households in a five-year periodic survey. Through household
and women’s questionnaires, these surveys cover a wide range of
topics, including health and nutrition, HIV/AIDS, reproductive health,
and children’s vaccination programs.
