About the Organization

Universal Health Coverage (UHC)will be achieved by 2030 by harnessing digital technology and the use of data.

To build a global movement that brings together organisations and institutions across sectors who are committed to achieving UHC within the next ten years by expanding the use of digital technology and increasing access to data.

About the Proposal

Transform Health India is looking for an organisation to manage and coordinate the implementation of its national campaigns and to contribute to the global campaign efforts over the next three years. The current campaign priority is MyDataOurHealth. The coalition will be developing and launching other campaign initiatives over the next year, including the Roadmap to 2030 and a second global campaign. The coordinating partner will be expected to contribute to and when launched coordinate these initiatives at national level, as well as implement aspects of the global campaign.

Transform Heallth’s campaigning aims to support the coalition’s advocacy and policy goals  (set out in the Transform Health Strategy) and operates in close coordination with our government outreach and engagement colleagues at the national, regional and global levels. Transform Health coalition campaign partners at the national level raise public and political awareness of specific issues such as health data governance, resourcing and investment for the digital transformation of health systems to achieve universal health coverage, among key audiences and create the political support and public understanding that is necessary to shape policy and government decisions.

Transform Health’s first global campaign – My Data Our Health – was launched in January 2023. The campaign was piloted in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania) and in West and Central Africa (Benin, Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal). The campaign focuses on the issue of health data and the way it is regulated and governed.

Transform Health is inviting well established campaign organisations focusing and/or led- by youth, women and marginalised communities to submit proposals for small grants (no more than US$25,000) to lead the coalition’s campaign efforts at national level (in partnership with the national coalition already set up in country) and coordinate implementing partners. In addition to the small grants, the selected organisations will be supported through capacity development and other resources,  tools and assets to enable them to coordinate partners more effectively and to mobilise their supporters and engage with authorities and the media.

The MyDataOurHealth campaign

The MyDataOurHealth campaign aims to raise awareness and galvanise action on the issue of health data and to encourage a public and political conversation on the following set of questions:

• Who determines how health data is collected, managed, used, stored and disposed of?
• What are the limits of this authority?
• How can we ensure this data is going to be used for public benefit purposes?
• How much access and control do and should individuals have over their health data?
• How can we ensure this ownership and control is respected and protected?
• What role can individuals play in driving up data quality by ensuring their own health data is accurate and complete?

The overall objective of the campaign is to contribute to the coalition’s goal of ensuring more effective health data governance.

The coalition’s  objective is to influence governments so they support a global health data governance framework underpinned by a set of health data governance principles through a resolution at the World Health Assembly. The coalition will then work with partners to encourage governments to integrate this framework into national legislation.

Campaign objectives

• The campaign creates awareness among the general public, media and lawmakers on health data governance to raise and profile the issue among 400,000 people by December 2025.
• At least three additional governments demonstrate support for the Model law and endorse the Health Data Governance Principles / or use them to develop their own national regulation/legislation.
• At least 50 civil society organisations in particular those representing youth, women and marginalised communities participate in the MyDataOurHealth campaign by December 2025.
• Civil society organisations sign an open letter calling on the government to sponsor or support a resolution on health data governance at the World Health Assembly by May 2025. This resolution should instruct the WHO to develop a health data governance framework that includes core regulatory elements (model law and regulation) that can then be integrated into national laws.

Other campaign initiatives

Transform Health’s other flagship campaign initiative is Digital Health Week. The coalition is also planning to develop and launch a further campaign initiative later this year, the Roadmap to 2030 and will be developing and launching a new issue specific campaign next year.

Digital Health Week:

Digital Health Week was set up to enable organisations not traditionally involved in digital health, to participate in the public conversation. By broadening the scope of engagement around digital health to bring in community voices and perspectives, as well as those of rights based organisations, the private sector, and those working on issues equity and inclusion, as well as more traditional actors Digital Health Week is creating space for a richer and more  inclusive conversation on how digital health can contribute to universal health coverage. The hybrid model ensures these different perspectives, reduces the barriers for engagement in this conversation and democratises a space that traditionally has been dominated by technical experts and that has required substantial resources (registration fees and flights to global venues and events) to participate in.

The national campaign coordinator will be expected to contribute to the success of Digital Health Week by mobilising engagement around campaign priorities and coordinating partner participation during the week.

Deliverables

• Selection and onboarding of the campaign partners.
• A national MyDataOurHealth campaign plan that includes the activities of the campaign partners and the coordinated response around key national and global moments. This implementation plan should set out how the partners will deliver on the global strategy in India.
• Monthly meetings held with campaign partners to discuss joint activities, outreach and communication, agree social media engagement.
• A coordinated communications plan that includes a monthly story from a specific partner to be developed and issued clear social media metrics and a social media and online engagement plan.
• Monthly and quarterly reports submitted to the National Coalition Coordinating Partner
• Monthly and quarterly reports submitted to the National Coalition Coordinating Partner
• Support the development and promotion  of the Roadmap to 2030 in India.
• Develop (or find) a list of all the organisations working on Digital Health in India.

• Contribute to at least two funding proposals for campaign initiatives.
