Background and Context
Since its inception, Last Mile Health has produced significant research and publications, generating evidence about what works in the global health and community health worker sectors. As the organization has expanded from operations in Liberia to programming in Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, and Malawi, that emphasis on research and learning has continued. The Global Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning (GMERL) team has now evolved to provide technical support, guidance, standards and quality oversight across these country teams. GMERL also works closely with other global teams (e.g., Health Systems Strengthening, Program Strategy and Performance, etc.) to develop standards, resources, tools, and practices to promote high-quality program design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. At the same time, internal and external learning continues to be a priority in LMH’s newest strategy, with a strategic emphasis on evaluating the outcomes, impact and cost-effectiveness of our work. It is important for the whole of the organization to appreciate its role in this objective, to understand how good evidence is generated, and learn how best to use the data and evidence we have.
