| Measuring changes in an organization’s systems and performance can be difficult. Disconnected interventions such as training or systems development may be measured individually, but their impact on the system as a whole is rarely analyzed. The holistic performance improvement approach identifies and bridges the gaps between present performance and desired performance in organizations, processes, and individual employee or service provider levels. This panel presents a range of perspectives on how performance improvement activities in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia are strengthening the family planning and reproductive health programs and organizations in those regions. The panelists will describe a major donor’s, USAID’s, interest in performance improvement, as well as the activities and results of several agencies working in this area throughout the world | ||||
