Better Immunization Data Initiative

The BID Initiative is designed to shine a light on the challenges surrounding data collection, quality, and use. While our initial focus is on immunization data to first test and prove our approach, the BID Initiative is designed to spread across several health verticals such as nutrition or maternal, newborn and child health. We didn't predefine s... olutions and instead partnered with countries to develop interventions addressing the most critical routine immunization service delivery problems. We believe that a collection of multiple interventions is key to helping address data quality and use challenges. We need a holistic investment in data management policies and practices, information system products, and the people who will use them. These components will be packaged into a replicable solution that can be easily and cost-effectively adapted by additional countries interested in using better data for better decision-making. If we are successful, a true tipping point will occur-one in which countries can access, analyze, and act upon accurate data anytime, anywhere-resulting in improved health outcomes and healthier families and communities.Read More
