Challenges and Barriers
• REOWs vary region by region• Shifting the focus of prevention framework• A REOW candidates did not exist in every
region• Membership was hard to establish• Participation of REOW members was not
always promised
Challenges and Barriers Cont.
• Inconsistent attendance• Suppressed, missing, invalid, unreliable, or
insensitive data• Inconsistencies in data collection methods• In some cases, no local data collection system
existed at all• A lack of infrastructure for sharing data
among state agencies
Successes
• Identified and establish relations with different agencies and individuals
• Develop an understanding and appreciation of the data collection process
• Empowerment • Developed systematic ongoing monitoring system• Identified the gaps and limitations of community-
level data• Identified and engage stakeholders in their
communities
