Aimed at reviewing the progress of RMNCAH, the Short Programme Review (SPR) is an evidence-based evaluation to help assess and readjust the programme/policy course at the national and sub-national levels to achieve goals and objectives, wherein data is available on programme implementation and delivery. It also entails identifying the problems faced by the programme and suggesting recommendations on the next action steps.
We as programme partners conducted various activities to facilitate progress in this direction.
