The Global Grant Program’s commitment to data-driven strategies to strengthen data systems and promote data use has yielded transformative impact. Our health equity focused projects have accomplished the following:
Resulting in data availability for health assessments that aided governments in resource allocation and effective planning data. Improved surveillance, health impact assessments, and data use enable governments to strategically allocate resources and design policies and programs that will have the most impact on people’s health.
Particularly in Africa and South America, with Brazil and Peru taking the lead. These were the top two equity subcategories projects worked on for each Data for Health programmatic area.
In historically hard-to-reach and under-registered areas. 4 teams in Africa made significant improvements in birth registration, engaging and training over 640 personnel. These projects are utilizing community-based surveillance to ensure birth registrations are occurring in geographically hard to reach areas, such as rural communities and conflicted-affected areas.
Which empowered local communities with data on causes of death, deepening the understanding of health disparities to guide targeted interventions. Three of these projects successfully trained over 90 enumerators and 265 VA Field supervisors in VA implementation.
Data Impact projects in South America improved data analysis and access for policymaking, by developing COVID-19 dashboards, facilitating data accessibility and analysis, notably in Peru and Rio de Janeiro. Two projects had a gender equity component while the others focused on assessing social determinants of health, geography, and access to services and medicines.

A good project must have discrete and measurable deliverables aligned to the objectives of the D4H Initiative.
It should also be:
1. evidence-based and integrate global best practices;
2. be clear on roles and responsibilities of key individuals and institutions during implementation;
3. incorporate a pathway for sustainability;
4. have a clear and measurable description of what success will look like at the end of the project.
