USAID MEASURE DHS Contract |
 |
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has selected the Macro team, including CAMRIS as a substantial subcontractor, to implement the MEASURE Phase III Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) contract. This $142 million, five-year contract will serve as the Bureau for Global Health’s primary demographic and health data collection effort.
For nearly 20 years the DHS has been a major part of USAID’s initiatives to help developing countries collect and use data to monitor and evaluate population, health, and nutrition programs. Over 200 surveys have been compelted to date in more than 80 developing countries. MEASURE DHS surveys are large, nationally representative efforts, typically including 5,000 to 30,000 households and more than 10,000 respondents. The surveys cover a range of topics including family planning, reproductive health, child health, nutrition, HIV/AIDS, gender, and infectious diseases including malaria. The MEASURE DHS Phase III project also supports biomarker testing, providing countries with information on national rates of HIV, malaria, anemia, and other health threats.
“The MEASURE DHS project is considered the ‘gold standard’ in national survey research,” said Ann Way, the project director. “DHS surveys are widely respected and used worldwide,” said Dr. Way. “For the new project, we will expand efforts to build local capacity to collect, analyze, and use demographic and health data in close collaboration with our project partners: The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, PATH, CAMRIS, Blue Raster, and The Futures Institute.”
CAMRIS Celebrates over 45 years of Work with USAID |

CAMRIS is known throughout the U.S. for its leading edge services to support our national programs and particularly for serving our Veterans. CAMRIS is also known worldwide for excellence serving client programs to improve economic, social, political, and health conditions of people in all parts of the world. For over four decades our most important partner in the international sphere has been the United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”). In fact, CAMRIS has worked with USAID in each year since its founding. Before USAID we assisted its predecessor, the Alliance for Progress, esablished by President Kennedy in 1961 to address humanitarian needs and to counter instability posed by underdevelopment.
To date CAMRIS has carried out assignments for USAID in 50 countries in all regions and in many technical areas. Today CAMRIS continues this proud tradition as it works on significant USAID assignments in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our current work includes technical assistance to support major USAID-funded initiatives in the areas of Global Health, Democracy and Governance, Development, and Monitoring and Evaluation, and active assignments including several global initiatives and our present work in 20 countries (Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland and Zimbabwe).
