National Geospatial and Health Data Systems Strengthening
National Geospatial and Health Data Systems Strengthening
Creating coordinated national systems with governance frameworks to enhance data integration and accessibility.
The Umbrella Fund for Geospatial Interventions
Creating Coordinated National Data Systems
Our assessments revealed significant challenges in how geospatial and health data is coordinated at national levels in both Nigeria and DRC. Data fragmentation, limited interoperability, and unclear governance have hindered effective use of valuable information for decision-making.
The Integrated Data Governance investment area addresses these challenges by developing coordinated data systems with clear governance frameworks at the national level.
Key Challenges Addressed:
Multiple uncoordinated data repositories
Limited cross-reference capability between systems
Inconsistent data standards and definitions
Unclear governance for data sharing and use

Strategic Approach
This investment area creates sustainable knowledge pathways through
Harmonized data architecture
design
Stakeholder coordination
mechanisms
Interoperability frameworks
Data governance protocols
National Geospatial Data Repository
The National Data Repository Initiative supports the development of centralized, accessible data systems with clear governance protocols. This initiative is tailored to each country's specific institutional landscape.
Scenario I (No previous intervention)
Full-suite intervention including repository development, capacity building, and governance structure establishment
Scenario II (Building on existing interventions)
Focused on repository development and governance structure establishment, leveraging previous capacity building work
