The CRIISTA User Guide is a resource for implementers and users of the CRIISTA framework. It is also a resource for Ministry of Health (MOH), Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), and Health Management Information System (HMIS) decision-makers to review and decide whether using the CRIISTA framework is appropriate for their circumstances. The User Guide has been designed with the aim of assisting and supporting the use of the CRIISTA framework from pre-planning through completion.

The CRIISTA User Guide is part of the CRIISTA Toolkit that also includes the CRIISTA Workbook (an Excel document where planning information, desk review and key informant interview outputs, and final consensus data are all recorded) and the CRIISTA Suitability Assessment Workshop Template (a PowerPoint template that provides guidance on synthesizing key informant/desk review information and is also used to facilitate the final consensus building activity).
