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
