ATTACHMENT ONE Improving Information to Secure Women’s and Children’s Health and Health Related MDGs Arusha, 26 - 27 May 2012 Concluding Statement We, Members of the General Purpose Committee of the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA), representatives of National Parliaments from East Africa 1 as well as experts from the region on maternal, new born and child health (MNCH), gathered in Arusha on 26 and 27 May 2012 for a seminar to identify actions which parliaments in the East Africa region can take to promote maternal, new born and child health in the East Africa region.

This is because information is essential for public health interventions, policy-making and planning the optimum deployment of infrastructure for programming and for accountability. We noted with concerns that such quality data is not readily available in the region.

However, there are widespread gaps and data quality issues for core 1 Members of Parliaments from Burundi, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania (including Zanzibar) participated in the seminar 11
