At the BAO Systems Impact First Digital Development Summit, Mignonne F. joined Simon Devine and Tumelo Seithati from Riders for Health to share how we're building trust in frontline health systems, using DataKind’s Data Observation Toolkit (DOT) - a digital public good designed to strengthen data quality and reliability in health systems. Together, we deployed DOT in Lesotho, automating anomaly detection for infectious disease test samples and results data. This streamlined the timely and accurate transport of 950,000+ specimens annually across 216 health facilities and labs, serving 2.2 million people. http://bit.ly/4oinu1P This collaboration shows how open-source, community-informed tools like DOT can build trust in data, improve decision-making, and drive better health outcomes. DOT is platform- and sector-agnostic - if you’re working on an initiative to strengthen data quality or want to explore how DOT can help, visit https://bit.ly/3OD8Y4S to learn more or reach out at partners@datakind.org. #DataKind #DigitalPublicGoods #GlobalHealth #HealthSystems #DataQuality #DataTrust #OpenSource #ImpactFirst #AIforGood #DataForGood

Data can be the key to sound decision-making in the nonprofit sector, empowering informed choices about where to invest capacity. But where can nonprofit leaders and social-sector professionals find local data, and how can they use it to generate the insights they need? In Webinar 2 of our series with DataKind, we'll discuss Ladder, a free tool for finding and working with local data.

Across the U.S., communities face complex, interconnected challenges - food insecurity, housing instability, health disparities, and more. Yet the data that could guide solutions is often siloed or out of reach. That’s why we built Ladder - a new platform that makes community data accessible, actionable, and equitable. Already in use nationwide, Ladder helps local leaders turn fragmented data into insights that drive real impact. 🔗 Learn more: https://bit.ly/46Q7wVP Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Enterprise Community Partners, Feeding America, Google.org, Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth #DataKind #Ladder #DataScience #AI #SocialImpact #DataForGood #CommunityImpact #ProductInnovation

I had the privilege of attending GoalKeepers this week, sponsored by the Gates Foundation, as part of the UNGA week kickoff. The event highlighted remarkable progress in global health - from 10 million preventable childhood deaths in 2000 to 5 million last year - and the ongoing work ahead. It was inspiring to see DataKind partner Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance recognized by Bill Gates for their critical role in advancing global health solutions. Events like this are a reminder of the bold, ambitious mission that DataKind collaborates on every day, using data and AI to tackle some of the world’s toughest challenges.The discussions underscored both the challenges ahead and the optimism that innovation, partnership, and data-driven solutions can drive impact.
