Abstract:
The Health Management Information System / Monitoring and Evaluation (HMIS/M&E)
strategy fits within the objectives and priorities set by the Health Sector Development
Program’s (HSDPIII) strategic plan. The HSDPIII strategic plan itself responds to the
objectives and priorities of national organizations, of regional, woreda, and kebele
decentralized authorities, to the health needs of the Ethiopian population, and to international
agreements. Similarly, the HMIS/M&E strategy must take account of these national, local,
and international requirements, as well as those of the health sector itself.
