Who we are
MISSION
We provide a collaborative platform that leverages and aligns technical and financial resources (at all levels) to country owned strategies and plans for collecting, storing, analysing and using data to improve health outcomes, with specific focus on SDG targets and communities that are left behind.
What we do
BETTER DATA. BETTER HEALTH.
The Health Data Collaborative is a joint effort by multiple global health partners to work alongside countries to improve the availability, quality and use of data for local decision-making and tracking progress toward the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Working Groups
ENHANCING, NOT DUPLICATING
Our role is to build upon existing efforts by establishing a network of working groups that will address specific technical issues and identify and fill technical gaps.
Knowledge Hub
Through its working groups, the Health Data Collaborative will produce numerous tools, such as data standards, measurement methods, health indicators and other resources that will support countries to collect, analyse and use more accurate and reliable health data.
