Data for Impact (D4I) has compiled these examples from its own work and the work of others found through a literature review—and consultation with the original authors—to compare ways routine data can be appropriate for evaluations and to shed light on its benefits and shortcomings for evaluation. This brief focuses on a study that aimed to assess the effect of Kenya’s Free Maternity Service Policy on maternal healthcare use and maternal and newborn health outcomes.Shortname: fs-20-489-d4iAuthor(s): Data for ImpactYear: 2020Language: EnglishRegion(s): KENYAFiled under: assessment, Data Quality, Evaluation, evidence, Kenya, method, RHIS, Routine data, Routine Health Information Systems
