Investment Area
Integrated Data Governance
Creating coordinated national systems with governance frameworks to enhance data integration and accessibility.
National Geospatial Data Repository
The Fund supports the establishment of coordinated national repositories that improve access to reliable geospatial information while strengthening governance, interoperability, and institutional ownership.
Scenario I (No previous intervention)
Where a country plans to build and establish national repositories for the first time, we support with data infrastructure, strengthen institutional capacity, and establish governance systems.
Scenario II (Building on existing interventions)
Where a country has an existing data system initiative, we target support to strengthen governance, improve interoperability, and build upon previous investments.
NIGERIA IMPLEMENTATION
DRC IMPLEMENTATION
The Umbrella Fund supports the development of nationally coordinated geospatial and health data systems that improve data accessibility, interoperability, and governance. In Nigeria, the Fund is working with national stakeholders to strengthen data coordination and advance initiatives that create a shared foundation for geospatial data management and use across government institutions.
The Umbrella Fund for Geospatial Interventions
Strengthening National Data Systems for Better Decision Making
Reliable health planning depends on coordinated, accessible, and well governed data systems. However, fragmented data repositories, inconsistent standards, and limited interoperability often prevent governments from using geospatial information effectively.
The Umbrella Fund invests in strengthening national geospatial and health data systems by supporting governance frameworks, institutional coordination, and integrated data architecture that improve how information is managed, shared, and applied across the health sector.
Key Challenges Addressed:
Fragmented national data repositories.
Limited interoperability between systems.
Inconsistent data standards and definitions.
Weak governance for data management and sharing.
How We Invest
The Fund supports coordinated national systems that improve data quality, accessibility, and institutional collaboration.
Harmonizing national data architecture
Strengthening institutional coordination mechanisms.
Developing interoperable geospatial systems.
Supporting governance frameworks for sustainable data management.
