Demographic and Health Survey to Get Underway (6 January 2009)

USAID is taking the lead in coordinating the next Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) in Timor-Leste. Other partners include the Ministry of Health, National Statistics Directorate, UNFPA, UNICEF, and UNIFEM. Preparatory work has begun, with the bulk of the field work planned to take place later this year. The DHS will provide definitive evidence regarding the effectiveness of USAID's investments in the health sector since 2005. The last DHS was conducted in 2003. USAID is one of the leading donors in the area of maternal and child health and the leading donor supporting the public health system at the district level.
