Scoping Review of ASER Pakistan’s Content, Processes and Evidence Uptake A Longitudinal Perspective
Abstract
This policy study evaluates program outcomes for children and women across districts in Pakistan, using mixed methods (household surveys, facility data, and key informant interviews). We document vaccination coverage, access to basic water services, maternal & neonatal health indicators, and youth engagement outcomes.
