In this activity, you will discuss which tools, principles, and measures of performance you will most likely use in your setting and which ones you already use.

Step 1: Review and Identify

Review the learning resources on measures of performance for health programs and policy development. Identify which measures are applicable to your setting and which are currently used in your setting.

• Briefly describe your setting
• State which measures of performance are best suited for your setting
• State which measures are currently used in your setting and how effective they are
• Identify which other measures are not currently used in your setting and why
• Identify which you think should be employed in your setting and why
