EN-MINI Tools: Overview Figure 1. Data collection from routine registers in EN-BIRTH study 2016–2020 The EN-BIRTH study collaboration supports the Every Newborn Action Plan (ENAP) to count every newborn through measurement, program-tracking, and accountability. More than ninety countries are now tracking progress towards ENAP milestones for 2025. Annual ENAP progress reports demonstrate the benefit of standardized monitoring, highlight success, and identify where further focus is needed. The EN-MINI tools focus on core newborn indicator measurement shown as the yellow data point circles in the center of the data pyramid in Figure 2. EN-MINI tools assess Routine Health Information Systems performance for data collected from the health facility up to sub-national and national levels for tracking. EN-MINI currently includes seven tools (Figure 2) ideally implemented as a package, but can be used individually for your needs. The EN-MINI-PRISM training manual and EN-MINI-PRISM training slide set are also available for download. Figure 2.
