Global programs / The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program
The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS-8) Program assists participating countries in implementing household and facility-based surveys, analyzing data stemming from these surveys, and facilitating use of these data to support evidence-informed decision making. The DHS-8 contract will continue to be USAID's primary implementation mechanism for demographic and health data collection with activities yielding improved tools, methods, partnerships, and technical guidance to collect quality population, health, and nutrition data. Project activities will also increase in-country individual and institutional capacity for identification of data needs and for survey design, management, and data collection to meet those needs. DHS-8 will disseminate program survey data and information through multiple mechanisms including country specific DHS reports, curricula for professionals, peer reviewed journal publications that use DHS data, and the DHS website. These dissemination activities improve the availability of DHS Program survey data and information, advance analysis and synthesis of DHS Program survey data, and improve facilitation of DHS Program data use among stakeholders worldwide.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
