DATA COLLECTORS 

1. Background

IntraHealth International, through the MOMENTUM Safe Surgery in Family Planning and Obstetrics (MOMENTUM) project, supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) seeks to hire data collectors to support its learning activities. The MOMENTUM project aims to strengthen surgical safety within maternal health (MH) and family planning (FP) programs by promoting evidence-based approaches and testing innovations. The overall MOMENTUM vision is to reduce maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity and improve the utilization of voluntary FP by addressing entrenched obstacles that undermine access to and use of safe surgery for MH/FP care through both proven strategies and innovative approaches. MOMENTUM seeks to achieve transformative, sustained impacts in the availability, quality, and use of priority interventions, specifically: surgical obstetric care, including safe and indicated cesarean delivery (CD), peripartum hysterectomy, obstetric and iatrogenic fistula prevention and treatment, and long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) and permanent methods (PMs).
