Dear Colleagues, You may be aware of the resent research and projects that demonstrate the value of big data (besides small data) in discovering trends in public health issues. Such analyses help the Ministries of health and other stakeholders in decision making and planning their actions. Implementation of big data technologies requires not only technology interventions, but also capacity building, coordination, training at multiple levels.
There are opportunities to develop big data interventions in these countries - Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The organizations should have established local presence, demonstrated body of work in areas of health and/or data science. This project will require the organization to be the focal points in their respective countries, depute 2 resource persons, and coordinate with their ministries of health. We have already received confirmed EoI from organizations in these countries: Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Interested organizations are requested to contact by email at atanu.garai at gmail.com. Best regards, Atanu Garai
