The Problem We're Solving
1. Evolving global health funding landscape
Changes in the international funding environment are creating new sustainability challenges for global health initiatives. Technical support programs, including modeling capacity, may need to adapt to a changing resource context.
2. Fragmented, difficult-to-adapt tools
Ministries often rely on isolated spreadsheets or proprietary systems that lack transparency—making validation challenging and cross-program comparison difficult.
3. Data-sparse environments
Low- and middle-income countries lack comprehensive datasets; they need models designed for limited inputs that transparently communicate uncertainty.
4. Capacity development opportunities
Modeling expertise is concentrated in high-income countries. Local analysts would benefit from accessible training opportunities and adaptable, well-documented code resources.
Impact
Critical health resource allocation decisions may be made with outdated or inconsistent information, potentially reducing program effectiveness.
