Safe Motherhood

Performance Improvement Review (PIR):  Resources & Tools for NGOs & CBOs

Developed for the Zambia Integrated Health Programme (ZIHP) by Initiatives Inc., 2004.

The Performance Improvement Review is a self-directed process for improving the effectiveness, sustainability and quality of NGO programs. Guidance and tools for conducting PIRs have been packaged as a CD-ROM to make the materials more accessible to users. The tools address six different program areas: family planning; growth monitoring and promotion; HIV/AIDS (home-based care, VCT, and peer education); malaria; safe motherhood; and water and sanitation, and are designed for use by Program Managers, Donors, District Health Management Teams, and Trainers.
