Shared innovations in measurement and evaluation
Now more than ever, those engaged in measuring health and evaluating impact to improve health need to come together to share knowledge. The current economic environment, in conjunction with increasing demands for accountability, requires intensified efforts to innovate and borrow from other disciplines to ensure that methods and tools take advantage of the latest science and provide valid, reliable, and comparable measurements for wide implementation. What has been missing from the global health calendar is a cross-cutting forum that unites the myriad disciplines that have something to contribute to an enhanced collective capacity for global health measurement and evaluation. In sponsoring the conference—Global Health Metrics & Evaluation: Controversies, Innovation, Accountability—we hope to build the field and provide a space to share new ideas about the growing body of evidence about what works in global health.
