The East African Community (EAC) Secretariat, the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), and the Pan African Health Informatics Association (HELINA) have concluded a commitment by all three parties to foster stronger health data governance to drive digital transformation and innovations in the health sector of East Africa. 

The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), with support from LHSS, commenced the first Technical Workshop on strengthening domestication and implementation of regional Health cross–border policies, in Bishoftu, Ethiopia.

This technical note will be updated based on the decisions and progress made in implementing CBHI or other health financing mechanisms, other governmental decisions, and the capacity of the CA-CSU and other actors in implementing the SNFS.

This analysis establishes a baseline understanding of current cross-border health challenges and opportunities, and identifies organizational and technical capacity gaps to address within key stakeholders that are leading cross-border health initiatives.

LHSS identifies the information gaps and disparities to achieve the SN-CSU objectives with the data from key UHC-related documents in Madagascar. 

This Practice Spotlight brief describes the Ethiopia Ministry of Health’s Information Revolution, an initiative that aimed to improve health services by facilitating better availability, quality, and use of health data across the health system.

LHSS implemented a PMI-funded activity in four countries to do a landscape analysis of private sector contributions to malaria programming and identify potential strategic opportunities to strengthen private sector engagement. 

The proliferation of mobile telephones and advances in digital financial technology have created opportunities for faster progress towards achieving Universal Health Coverage.

During this webinar, we present new global evidence on how DFS can improve the coverage, equity, efficiency, quality, and responsiveness of health services.
