The MCE has a commitment to making findings available as quickly as possible, as the basis for continued improvement in the effectiveness of child health interventions.

Investigators are encouraged to publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals, and provided with technical support and assistance to do so. WHO at all levels is preparing reports of the findings regularly, with permission of the investigators as outlined in the MCE Guidelines for Publication and Use of Results and Protocols.
