Measurement, Learning & Evaluation (MLE)

The Measurement, Learning & Evaluation (MLE) Project is the evaluation component of the Urban Reproductive Health Initiative (URHI). URHI is a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded multi-country program in India, Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal that aimed to improve the reproductive health of the urban poor by increasing the accessibility, quality, and use of family planning services. From 2010 – 2017, the projects have used different interventions, both demand and supply side, to increase use of and access to contraceptives.

The evaluation design of the MLE Project aimed to identify the reproductive needs of the urban poor by collecting longitudinal and cross-sectional data to show impact across cities, over time, and among the urban poor. This unique design seeks to assess the direct impact of innovative family planning programs and identify any change in the modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR) and behavioral and attitudinal norms in intervention cities over the course of the URHI.
