Abstract:
This note provides a rapid assessment of the national landscape for existing monitoring priorities and systems for adolescent girls’ MHH. It is part of a four-country initiative led by WaterAid and UNICEF to support the roll out and uptake of the Priority List of Indicators for Girls’ Menstrual Health and Hygiene (Global MHH Monitoring Group, 2022) by assessing the country status, priorities, enablers, barriers and opportunities for monitoring MHH. It also aims to contribute towards improved MHH by assessing the feasibility and relevance of applying the priority indicators for national monitoring of MHH. These indicators can be used to monitor MHH across priority domains (materials, WASH, knowledge, discomfort/disorders, supportive social environment, menstrual health impacts, and policy) and are intended to enable comparability across countries and over time. It is expected that each country will apply the assessment findings for programming and policy decisions aligned to national priorities in a number of sectors, such as education, reproductive health and WASH.
For UNICEF Egypt it is also an opportunity to complement existing national efforts and look for ways to strengthen its own interventions and provide technical support for national priorities on MHH monitoring. The assessment is also in line with UNICEF Egypt’s increased focus on a multisectoral and holistic approach towards MHH, ensuring monitoring tools are in place – or can be developed – to strengthen programme design and implementation. While acknowledging MHH efforts in Egypt, this assessment can be a chance to explore priority indicators aligning with national priorities.
