AB It  is  quite  important  to  deliver  effective  interventions  to  individuals  and  populations.  Particularly  at  the  global  level,  it  is  necessary  to  follow  those  interventions  and  measure  how  they  work  and  what  effects  they  have  to  improve  health  and  promote  development.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  discuss  why  and  how  we  evaluate  progress  in  global  health,  focusing  on  the  importance  of  using  the  process  to  build  local  capacity  and  overcome  public  health  challenges.  We  will  also  consider  some  of  the  ways  in  which  progress  in  global  health  and  development  is  being  monitored  on  the  global  scale,  and  how  this  interacts  with  metrics  of  progress  in  health  and  development  processes  at  national  and  local  levels.
