The Nairobi Statement
Committing to the Health Data Collaborative: Better Data for Better Health
The HDC Annual Meeting of 2023, in Nairobi (Kenya), led to a series of concrete steps to improve the relevance and the added value of the HDC as a network of technical, financial and political partners working towards stronger health data for SDGs. At the end of the two-day event, members agreed to a text that brings all HDC partners together in recognising the importance of aligning efforts to ensure the availability and use of quality data for improved health outcomes.
It reinforces HDC's role and focus in sharing good practices and global tools to strengthen data systems and governance in different countries, by leveraging and aligning resources at all levels with country-owned plans and priorities for Health Information System improvement.
