Health Data Collaborative

The Health Data Collaborative (HDC) is a global partnership that helps countries improve health data and use it to advance health-related Sustainable Development Goal targets. Its network includes more than 400 partner organizations and over 1,000 members from seven constituencies, including technical experts, government and local leaders, academics, philanthropic organizations, civil society, and frontline health workers. The HDC provides a platform for partners to align technical, financial, and political resources with country-owned strategies, supporting better decisions and improved health outcomes, particularly for communities at risk of being left behind.

Rather than offering commercial products, the collaborative provides practical resources and opportunities for shared learning and coordination. Its work includes guidance, case studies, governance information, and country engagement materials, alongside a Knowledge Hub and working groups covering community health data, digital health and interoperability, logistics information systems, civil registration, routine health information systems, and data governance. The HDC also convenes partner and stakeholder meetings, shares country experiences, and supports the exchange and scaling of innovative approaches.
