PRB is accepting applications from organizations in sub-Saharan Africa with experience working in digital health to house and maintain the digital health compendium.
Family planning programs can benefit from unprecedented opportunities to improve services. Investments in digital health tools have expanded exponentially, but information on what works and what does not remain limited and scattered. To advance greater adoption of digital technology in family planning programs, more data and information on the challenges, opportunities, scalability, and results are needed.
As part of the PACE Project supported by USAID, PRB released the Digital Health Compendium in October, 2020 to enable users to explore case studies across a range of digital health technologies used to enhance family planning programs to inform adoption and scale-up of successful approaches. The case studies give policy and program decisionmakers insights on real-world applications of digital health, promising practices, challenges, and other lessons that can be applied to current and future programs.
PRB requests applications from eligible organizations in sub-Saharan Africa interested in partnering with us to house and maintain the Digital Health Compendium, lead bi-annual updates, and engage in regional digital health technical assistance networks in sub- Saharan Africa to promote the adoption, evaluation, and scale-up of digital technology to improve the impact of family planning programs. Additional details on the eligibility, application process and timeline, and the scope of work can be found here.
The application deadline is April 20, 2021. PRB anticipates awarding one organization in early May 2021.
