Measurement & Reporting Process

Over the course of a year, Track20, FP2020 and other partners produce and publish data on the progress of the movement. FP2020's Core Indicator estimates are produced by Track20 and in-country Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Officers.

These M&E Officers help organize consensus meetings during which the estimates are agreed upon by in-country stakeholders. Once these data are produced, Track20 and the FP2020 Data & Performance Management Team analyze the data and draft the Measurement Section of the annual progress report, while the Performance Monitoring & Evidence Working Group provides feedback. The report is then launched in the fall.

DATA COLLECTION & MODELING

Data are collected through different sources across FP2020 countries

In FP2020 commitment countries, Track20 Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Officers use all available surveys, service statistics (where of sufficient quality), and the Family Planning Estimation Tool (FPET) to produce estimates of FP2020 Core Indicators

In non-commitment countries, estimates are either developed by Track20 using FPET or come from the United Nations Population Division's Estimates and Projections of Family Planning Indicators.

CONSENSUS BUILDING

In FP2020 commitment countries, Track20 M&E Officers help organize data consensus meetings during which estimates of the FP2020 Core Indicators are agreed upon by the government, its partners, and in-country stakeholders.

These estimates are sent to Track20, which compiles Core Indicator data for all 69 FP2020 countries.
