Lessons Learned from Application of the Most Significant Change (MSC) in Nigeria Cover
Abstract: Data for Impact (D4I) is conducting a mixed-methods, portfolio-level evaluation of four USAID/Nigeria Health, Population and Nutrition (HPN) activities with a focus on comparing the strengths and challenges of an integrated health programming approach with a disease-focused approach (e.g., malaria).  D4I, in collaboration with local research partner Data Research and Mapping Consult Ltd. (DRMC), conducted two-day MSC workshops in Ebonyi, Kebbi, and Zamfara in July and August 2022.

Most Significant Change (MSC) is an approach to monitoring and evaluation that involves assessing changes and impacts in response to a program from the perspective of (in this case) HPN activity staff, including M&E officers, state directors, specific health topic leads, State Ministry of Health staff, and World Health Organization staff. This brief describes the process and lessons learned from the application of MSC in this context.
