PATH and Cooper/Smith partnered on the Data Use Acceleration and Learning (DUAL) initiative, which is reflecting country lessons on data use and digital transformation to inform future global health policies, interventions, and funding mechanisms.
During the June GDHN meeting, experts from PATH and Cooper/Smith shared learnings collected and synthesized from five countries –Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Malawi, South Africa, and Tanzania; using a model for digital transformation for data use built upon the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) eHealth Strategy Building Blocks.
The model serves as a practical, comprehensive guide to share what is working to advance the use of data to advance health equity, and support country leaders, funders, and implementers to choose the actions that make sense for their digital health systems’ context.
