USAID's flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) invites you to join us as we recognize the importance of strengthening measurement to accelerate improved coverage, quality and equity of high-impact reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) interventions as a priority in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) era.
Follow @MCSPglobal and @USAIDGH and use the hashtag #DataforHealth to share the importance of using evidence-based decisions on the delivery of RMNCAH services. Also, share this toolkit: http://bit.ly/DataforHealth.
