During the two day meeting colleagues from around the world aim to examine the measurement practises that support the reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent and nutrition (RMNCA+N) health agenda.

This 2020 meeting builds on an initial meeting held in 2015 that identified five principles to guide measurement at the transition point from the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals (watch the video below for a summary of the 2015 meeting).

Now, five years later, we look forward to celebrating the progress that has been made since 2015, while reflecting on what more needs to be done to support progress in country-level measurement and accountability for health.
