Please review the programmatic approaches below for project development guidance.
Conduct data analyses using existing data sources to characterize a health problem; identify policy options that address the root causes of the problem, use health impact assessment and economic evaluation methods to assess the cost-effectiveness and feasibility of policy options, evaluate policies and programs; persuasively communicate policy recommendations to stakeholders and decision-makers. For example, this could include a series of workshops to provide dedicated time for conducting the analysis needed to produce a policy brief or similar product. Proposals may also include stakeholder engagement meetings and dissemination events. If required, the proposal may include capacity building on relevant topics such as health impact assessment or decision modeling. Examples of completed work include a training program to conduct specific analysis in support of a smoke-free legislation and motor-cycle helmet regulations.
Develop public health reports using existing routine health, vital statistics or other relevant data to communicate population health information to a particular audience and to identify gaps in current health strategies, measure and evaluate progress towards health goals, and illustrate where action is needed. An example includes an analysis of mortality data and publishing a report which provides evidence for new policies such as expanding pneumococcal vaccine use or increased screening for cervical and breast cancer.
Develop an authoritative, timely, and influential source of information and recommendations for actions to protect the public’s health.
Increase staff technical capacity to write and publish scientific manuscripts.
Present key data to decision-makers on a specific public health topic or disease using platforms, such as a dashboard, that integrates and visualizes data to understand and monitor the status of the public health topic or disease and to take action using this information. Examples have included performance monitoring dashboards with workshops to engage relevant stakeholders in their use.

Please review the programmatic approaches below for project development guidance.
Conduct comprehensive legal and business process reviews to identify gaps in CRVS systems that may lead to inefficiencies, inaccessibility, or health disparities; provide technical assistance with drafting legislation, regulations, and improved processes to address those gaps and lay the groundwork for comprehensive and equitable CRVS reform.
Establish or enhance coordination of multiple CRVS stakeholders and/or provide capacity development to undertake comprehensive system-wide CRVS improvement efforts.
Design and implement improved systems for timely notification and registration of births and deaths for all sexes, including digital transformation and establishment of active notification systems.
Provide training, resources, and capacity development using multiple instructional modalities (face-to-face, eLearning, job aids) to teach and reinforce proper and unbiased cause of death certification practices using the WHO standard medical certificate of cause of death. Design and support for quality assurance and feedback loops that ensure accurate data collection capable of being disaggregated by age and sex to identify and target health disparities.
Improve MLDI data collection and use to highlight and address disproportionate levels of external deaths related to causes, such as homicide, gender-based violence, or road traffic crashes.
Leverage training, resources, and capacity development to establish or improve manual or automated coding of medical certificates of cause of death.
Develop capacity to establish or improve the scaled application of theWHO standard verbal autopsy to determine community patterns of mortality.
Provide support for analysis, publication, dissemination, and use of vital statistics from registration records that highlight trends and disparities in population health.
Conduct comprehensive legal reviews to identify gaps in CRVS legal systems; provide technical assistance with drafting legislation and regulations to address those gaps in order to lay the groundwork for comprehensive CRVS reform.
