Family Planning Routine Data Quality Assessment (RDQA) Report: MalawiDownload Document: Malawi-FP-RDQA-Report-final_TR-23-532-D4I_508c-1.pdf (4 MB)Abstract: Promoting use of family planning (FP) contraceptives is critical to support service providers to prevent unplanned pregnancies and unsafe abortions and to improve maternal and child health. FP data are collected and managed through the routine health information system (RHIS) and surveys such as the Demographic Health Survey (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), household survey, and others. In Malawi, the data for health service prevention and delivery are collected through paper-based data collection tools and reported into the DHIS2 of the RHIS. Other health care and FP contraceptive use information are collected through the MICS. The use of FP routine information is limited by the lack of quality data produced by the system. The Malawi FP Program requested the support of D4I/USAID and Track20/Gates Foundation to train and mentor the HMIS and FP staff to conduct FP data quality assessment.Shortname: TR-23-532Author(s): Moussa Ly, Priya EmmartYear: 2024Language: EnglishRegion(s): MALAWIFiled under: Data quality assessment, Family Planning, FP/RH, Malawi, Report, Routine data
