Requesting survey feedback about digital platforms for mitigating COVID-19 and vaccination campaigns
Dear All,
USAID is partnering with Digital Square to assess how governments and investors can harness existing digital tools and platforms to efficiently support response efforts in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including supporting vaccine planning, distribution and monitoring.
We need your help! Please help us better understand the digital tool landscape in these countries by filling out this survey. If you or your organization are supporting deployment and implementation of digital tools in the above countries, we want to hear from you. We ask you that you kindly complete this survey by 19 February 2020. We estimate it will take you 15 minutes per tool per country to complete this information.
USAID and Digital Square are partnering with WHO and a large number of investors on this activity including BMGF, CDC, GIZ, UNICEF, World Bank and others. Findings from this project will inform country briefs, highlighting digital tools deployed at scale in...
MoreDear All,
USAID is partnering with Digital Square to assess how governments and investors can harness existing digital tools and platforms to efficiently support response efforts in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including supporting vaccine planning, distribution and monitoring.
We need your help! Please help us better understand the digital tool landscape in these countries by filling out this survey. If you or your organization are supporting deployment and implementation of digital tools in the above countries, we want to hear from you. We ask you that you kindly complete this survey by 19 February 2020. We estimate it will take you 15 minutes per tool per country to complete this information.
USAID and Digital Square are partnering with WHO and a large number of investors on this activity including BMGF, CDC, GIZ, UNICEF, World Bank and others. Findings from this project will inform country briefs, highlighting digital tools deployed at scale in countries, those already being used in the COVID-19 response, and opportunities for harnessing existing tools for different COVID-19 use cases. Data is also being shared with the UNICEF for COVAX coordination, and the WHO to update the Digital Health Atlas.
Currently, this assessment focuses on following countries: Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Cameroon, Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Myanmar, Niger, Pakistan, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zambia.
Thank you in advance for your important contribution to this work!
Regards,
USAID and Digital Square

*Edited on 9/29 to correct project contact.
The BID Initiative is analyzing electronic immunization registry (EIR) data from Tanzania to better understand common immunization program barriers and the ways in which EIRs can solve for them. A BID analytics team of PATH staff from the U.S. and Tanzania are working with immunization experts to conduct a series of analyses to better understand how the digital platforms may solve remaining service delivery challenges. Analyses will look at key themes like missed opportunities for vaccination and population movement and we hope they will inform future EIR designs, digital systems, and data dashboards. You can read more about the opportunity in the second issue of a two-part blog series.
We’d love to hear from you! Are there other EIR analyses you'd like to see? Email us at [email protected], or add your thoughts in the blog comments.
Thanks,
Celina on behalf of the BID Initiative team
