for support of SRHR data for decision making in Togo
This grant to IDinsight will support a learning partnership with the Ministry of Health of Togo to improve its collection, management, and utilization of quality data for decisions related to family planning and other sexual and reproductive health (SRHR) programs. IDinsight will provide technical assistance to the Department of Maternal and Child Health, which oversees family planning, to develop the skills, tools, and systems needed to improve its data use, a request made by the Ministry of Health. This grant is aligned with our Global Reproductive Equity strategy and also the strategy of the Ouagadougou Partnership, to invest more in those countries within the region who struggle to meet their own family planning goals, which is consistently the case with Togo.
