Summary: This paper summarizes a WHO-led global initiative to develop and scale up a sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent monitoring and evaluation framework for humanitarian settings. Researchers propose 17 maternal health indicators and 14 newborn health indicators aligned with global monitoring frameworks, split into core vs context-specific lists.
Highlights
- For maternal health, researchers identified seven core, six context-specific, and 4 service readiness indicators for humanitarian settings.
- For newborn health, researchers identified seven core, five context-specific, and two service readiness indicators for humanitarian settings.
How to Use: Implementing agencies and partners can collaborate to scale up this agreed-upon set of SRMNCAH framework to enhance accountability and transparency in humanitarian settings. Through cross-sector coordination, stakeholders can improve existing data collection and reporting systems in humanitarian settings that are generally fragmented and inconsistent.
