New Networks
Data Use Network (DataUseNet) has been launched! In January, MEASURE Evaluation, the Health Metrics Network, and the East, Central and Southern African Health Community co-organized the global symposium From Data to Impact: Using Health Data for Results so that professionals could exchange successful experiences in improving health programs and policies through the use of quality health data and information. In order to continue the networking, sharing and learning with colleagues that began in Arusha, a listserv, DataUseNet has been created. The overall goal of the listserv is to foster a global network that supports dialogue among health professionals working to improve the use of data to improve health programs and policies.
Visit http://www.cpc.unc.edu/measure/networks/datausenet to more information! To sign up for the listserv, send an email to [log in to unmask], leave the subject field blank, and in the body of the message, type “subscribe DataUseNet.”
Child Status Network (ChildStatusNet) has been launched! In March, MEASURE Evaluation hosted a Child Status Index Regional Conference so that service providers to OVCs could exchange successful practices in implementing MEASURE Evaluation’s Child Status Index tool. Participants decided that a community of practice would be the best way to continue exchanging knowledge about the CSI and its implementation.
