Bangladesh’s Adolescent Landscape: Unveiling Insights from the Bangladesh Adolescent Health and Wellbeing Survey 2019-20 USAID’s Inclusive Development approach champions health equity with the idea that every individual and community, of all diverse identities and experiences, play a pivotal role in the transformation of their own societies. USAID works to integrate inclusive development in the areas of disability rights, inclusion and equity, mental health, and youth, among others. Charting a path towards local capacity strengthening: Systems and tools for mapping and planning Based on MOMENTUM’s Enhanced Framework on Organizational Capacity, the CMMS presents a new approach to planning and monitoring performance improvement. This integrated, systems-oriented package enables a partner organization to map their assets, challenges, and the internal drivers that either support or limit their performance. The CMMS generates real-time data and offers a monitoring process to make course corrections. It is designed to foster improvements in organizational performance, user ownership of the improvement process, and an in-depth understanding of performance determinants. Research and Evaluation Needs to Support Sustainable Health Programs Drawing on peer-reviewed and grey literature alongside interviews with a range of stakeholders from the USAID and local research organizations, presenters shared recommendations for USAID to support sustainable research and evaluation capacity strengthening for health programs centered around six thematic areas: Equitable Approaches and Tools in Knowledge Management Watch the recording in English and download the presentation slides, or listen in French and access the French presentation.
