Evidence for Policy and Action Grant Initiative 
Research and Development Solutions received a grant from the USAID in November 2011 to make evidence accessible to Decision and Policy Makers in Health.
Under the grant we will collate and analyze data on Family Planning and Childhood Immunization and make the analysis available to Government Officials, Donors, Politicians, Media and Communities.
We are working with publicly available databases, research studies and program data to understand how family planning and immunization services are planned, implemented and monitored. We will work with all stakeholders to make these analyses available to them and even work with them to answer specific questions when possible.
We will also work with stakeholders to build Institutional Capacity for using Evidence for making decisions in Health to Institutionalize Evidence Usage and to make this initiative Sustainable
