OUR TECH PARTNERSHIPS
Partnerships and Impact Investment
EGPAF partners with a variety of technology companies to
promote health equity to end HIV/AIDS. In the digital health
space, we seek out partners, including corporate partners,
that offer solutions to advance our vision for digital health
use in the HIV space, and that provide value to Ministries of
Health, in keeping with their program needs.
EGPAF’s above partnership with AWS on machine learning
models is an illustration of how EGPAF is seeking to join
forces with companies to advance our efforts in using digital
health to achieve our mission. With Microsoft, EGPAF is
leveraging tools and support to help us drive better patient
care. As already noted, we are a heavy user of Microsoft’s
Power BI systems to develop dashboards.
Additionally, EGPAF uses Microsoft Azure to support our global data warehouse – GLASER360. This organization-wide data repository utilizes Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (ADLS) to house our big data analytics workloads. GLASER360 collects aggregate data from multiple platforms across all country-based settings, including monitoring, evaluation, and research (MER) data, DATIM imports, and a dozen EGPAF country offices that use DHIS2 platforms (e.g., Kenya, Lesotho, Cote d’Ivoire, Malawi). These data are fed into an analytics platform where Power BI data models are created to enable EGPAF leadership and teams to compare program reporting across countries and projects, and to track progress toward targets at site, district, and program levels. These analyses support organizational leadership at the country and global level to rapidly identify performance gaps and to deploy rapid support for program improvement.
EGPAF maintains numerous additional partnerships with companies and organizations, both small and large, to harness the power of data. EGPAF prioritizes use of open-source solutions when possible, to reduce costs, to limit licensing requirements, and to allow longer-term sustainability for governments.
