This MEASURE Evaluation-developed “guidance is intended for anyone with a stake in a country’s social service system. That includes stakeholders involved in planning, managing, or developing strategy related to social service systems and stakeholders that support the strengthening of social service systems and the delivery of services. Although we developed this guide with USAID’s and PEPFAR’s support, its audience is not limited to these agencies’ partners. Other donors and organizations providing technical assistance to social service systems may also find this guide useful for generating information for programs and policy. Similarly, government ministries, such as a ministry of social services, can use this guide to assess the status of their social service systems, inform planning, and make program and policy decisions.
