Impact Indicators

This section presents core impact indicators for RMNCAH-N and health financing. These indicators track health outcomes and financing performance, aligned with global targets to support evidence-based planning and resource allocation.

Core RMNCAH-N Impact Indicators

The 8 GFF core impact indicators reflect updates aligned with the in-country survey schedule which optimally occurs once every three to five years to determine population-based changes in important health and nutrition outcomes. These indicators are core to the GFF Logic Model, to reflect impact of aligned interventions over time.

 For many of the indicators highlighted in this table, annual estimates are produced through global processes. The globally produced estimates can be found through the following sites:

Core Health Financing Indicators

The six GFF core health financing indicators track changes to country budget and expenditures with a focus on health spending, to monitor the expected impact of increasing the total volume and value of funding allocated to health and nutrition. The GFF partnership supports financing reforms by engaging with ministries of finance and ministries of health to strengthen mobilization of domestic resources as well as allocative and technical efficiency. These indicators are tracked through country-specific data sources such as BOOST, NHA, and budget reports. Expenditure data are tracked through the Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED), for which data are available through the end of 2018. Through measurement of budgets and expenditures, the GFF partnership aims to accelerate the expansion of interventions that are high-impact, cost-effective, affordable, and feasible to accelerate progress on universal health coverage and in achieving SDG targets.

Survey and Estimated RMNCAH-N Coverage

The RMNCAH-N coverage data includes a standard set of 15 RMNCAH-N coverage indicators from available population-based surveys from 2012 to the most recent available survey. These indicators show progress towards key goals across maternal, child, and adolescent health and nutrition outcomes. Additional key nutrition-sensitive and/or education-specific coverage indicators are presented for countries where the GFF co-finances a nutrition-focused World Bank project or where education is a strong focus of the IC. 

The RMNCAH-N coverage data are sourced from the most recent available population-based surveys.

 For additional indicators and historical data, please refer to the Primary Health Care (PHC) tab, where an additional range of RMNCAH-N survey data and visuals from previous years is available.

Resource Mapping

Resource mapping is a key component of the GFF approach. The resource mapping exercise helps countries assess funding gaps, align donor and government resources, and improve the efficiency and equity of health spending. Resource mapping data for each country varies based on whether countries have completed one or more resource mapping exercises.

Data and Analytics Partnerships

The GFF works in close collaboration with governments and technical partners to strengthen national data systems and promote the use of evidence for decision-making. Through initiatives such as FASTR, AdLAB, Countdown and MAGE, countries are supported to generate, analyze, and apply data to improve planning, equity, and accountability for women, children, and adolescents’ health. Learn more about these partnerships and how they support country-led and results-driven efforts.

Monitoring and Action for Gender and Equity

MAGE (Monitoring and Action for Gender and Equity) supports data and analyses for prioritizing and tracking reforms that advance gender equality and women's, children's, and adolescents' health. It supports countries to generate and use data and analyses for more gender equitable health systems and services.
