The Vital Signs Profiles tool developed by the Primary Health Care Performance Initiative (PHCPI) is used to measure Primary Health Care (PHC) performance. Evidence for Action (E4A)-MamaYe team supported the County Government of Bungoma in Kenya to readapt this new measurement tool and fit their context. The VSP handbook will be useful for policymakers, advocates and citizens of Bungoma County to better understand the state of PHC in their county and identify issues of priority.

Women and girls make their communities thrive when they have access to good quality health services. The E4A-MamaYe project has been working to improve maternal and newborn survival in sub-Saharan Africa since 2012. We have learned that building local partnerships that connect health advocates with the media, government and health professionals gives them the power to hold decision makers to account for improving women's and children's health.
