Measuring accountability and quality of care in maternal health, Africa

The Evidence for Action (E4A) programme seeks to measure how political will can be measured, to what extent decision-makers have access to and use data, and how to measure change over time in these two key outcomes. Baseline monitoring data in six countries were gathered in 2012-2013 and data will be collected at mid-point (2014) and at end-point (2016), interviewing the same individuals wherever possible. One questionnaire assesses how far decision-makers have access to the right data at the right time and in a meaningful format, and how data are used to prioritise, plan and allocate resources.
