eGov Foundation

Another big news to share with you all - Last week the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and eGov Foundation forged a landmark partnership to drive global #digital #transformation of public services particularly delivery of Public Health services. This partnership designates eGov Foundation as the Technical Partner for #Digitalisation, supporting UNDP’s mission to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality across over 170 countries and territories. At the core is eGov’s DIGIT DPG Health Campaign Management (#HCM) platform to scale up innovative responses to the #HIV, #tuberculosis and #malaria epidemics. Additionally this partnership integrates innovative digital solutions into The Global Fund programming to enable system transformation and maximize development impact. #Burundi will be the first DIGIT #HCM implementation in partnership with both UNDP and The Global Fund Complementing each other to the core, UNDP’s global reach and eGov’s technology expertise will help address some of the world’s most pressing challenges by building digital solutions that are scalable, adaptable, and focused on delivering positive social impact. I wish to thank Manish Pant for nurturing this trusted relationship over the last 18 months, to Ketki Bhatia and Angela for taking this partnership over the line, to Muna Shalita for spearheading the Burundi implementation.

Thank you for all the congratulations! One year at eGov Foundation. One year in the impact sector. One year!???!?! Where did it go? This has been my first meaningful stint into the world of impact, after 20+ years of marinating in the world of advertising as it evolved from 2000 to 2022! The idea of "impact" always felt external—a metric, a measurable change, an outcome. But over this year, I've come to understand that impact is so much more than numbers and outcomes. It's personal. It's about transformation, starting within and extending outward. Here's a quick account of the year that was. #digitaltransformation #publicservicedelivery #equity PS - This photo was taken at a Fecal Sludge Management Plant in Odisha that uses technology to ensure safe sanitation. The FSTP is run entirely by women, and it features a playground and garden with some truly stunning flowers blooming around it!

Congratulations to anyone and everyone working tirelessly on prevention and eradication of Malaria in Africa as eGov Foundation and Malaria Consortium (MC) formalise their strategic partnership to scale health solutions in Africa. Last week an MoU was signed by Viraj Tyagi CEO eGov and James Tibenderana CEO MC. We at eGov are thrilled to partner with MC -the global leader in interventions including chemoprevention and vector control with the focus on strengthening of data-informed decision-making and adoption of digital approaches to community engagement. With implementations in Mozambique and Nigeria, this partnership aims to demonstrate how #DigitalPublicInfrastructure (DPI) can strengthen #healthsystems and deliver better outcomes for communities. At the core of this partnership is the Health Campaign Management (#HCM), powered by DIGIT DPG - a certified #DigitalPublicGood. Designed as an inclusive and scalable solution, HCM supports malaria prevention and other public health interventions like Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (#SMC), Insecticide-Treated Nets (#ITN) distribution, Vitamin A supplementation, and Azithromycin distribution. When i visited Mozambique earlier this year in May, post the first MC-DIGIT HCM implementation, it was a delight to meet Maria Rodrigues- National Director MC in Mozambique and hear about her great experience with eGov and DIGIT HCM. This campaign was important because the same Digital Infrastructure was reused (on which the BedNet (LLIN) campaign was delivered earlier) to deliver SMC campaign. I would like to sincerely thank Liberty Bunce Christian Rassi Tom H. who have played a critical role in nurturing this partnership right from the first implementation in Mozambique. Congratulations Once Again to All of Us.

Revolutionising Healthcare: Karnataka’s Saura Swasthya Initiative prioritises the health of its people, while safeguarding the planet. This groundbreaking initiative aims to solar-power 5,000 health facilities across Karnataka, impacting over 3 crore people in rural communities. It exemplifies how sustainable energy can overall strengthen healthcare delivery and health systems! ☀️Economic Viability and Carbon Savings: Solar energy has reduced electricity bills for health centres by up to 70%, saving the state government over ₹100 crores in the next 10 years. All centres are free from expensive diesel generators! ☀️Empowering Communities: Reliable energy enables health workers, many of whom are women, to provide safer, more effective care. Patients benefit by avoiding long travel distances, saving transport costs, and reducing wage loss. ☀️Under the Saura Swasthya program, systems and processes that demonstrate ownership, management, and regular maintenance of the energy systems and appliances will also be created.  ☀️The program will also improve technical capacity among health staff, improve the local technical network for solar energy, which will also have indirect impacts on local economies and boost adoption of solar energy across other sectors.  ☀️Saura e-Mitra, a digital platform developed in collaboration with SELCO Foundation and eGov Foundation is another milestone. By enabling real-time monitoring of solar energy infrastructure in health centres, it ensures accountability in implementation, efficiency in operation, and the creation of long-term resilience for our health systems. As we look ahead, the Saura Swasthya Initiative stands as a model and testament to Karnataka’s dedication to innovation and inclusive growth. It demonstrates how energy and healthcare can come together to create a brighter, healthier future for all, driving social equity and progress.   The program is supported by IKEA Foundation, Waverley Street Foundation Blockchain for Impact (BFI) and H T Parekh Foundation #SDG3 #SDG7 Department of Health and Family Welfare Services - Govt. of Karnataka | Dinesh Gundu Rao | Harish Hande

Tune in LIVE for the launch of the Saura Swasthya Initiative now! This milestone program, developed by SELCO Foundation in collaboration with the Government of Karnataka, supported by eGov, celebrates: ✅ 1,000 health facilities powered by solar energy ✅ A commitment to scale to 4,500 facilities by 2026 This will be done by incorporating decentralised solar energy infrastructure as a foundational infrastructure requirement for health facilities. This ensures critical last-mile healthcare delivery. The program will be launched by Shri Dinesh Gundu Rao, Honourable Health Minister, who would also be joined by the Prinicipal Secretary, Department of Health and Family Welfare Services - Govt. of Karnataka, along with the National Health Mission Director, Government of Karnataka.

Rishabh Jain, an alumnus of the GCPP Tech and Policy specialisation, has this to say about the programme: “I took this course on the recommendation of my senior, and it did not disappoint. What I liked most about the programme was its breadth. Public policy is a vast topic that merits a degree of its own. This course provides an excellent introduction to the world of public policy at a fraction of the cost!" Rishabh works as an engineer at eGov Foundation, where he contributes to the development of the DIGIT platform aimed at serving as a Digital Public Good. Applications for the Jan 2025 cohort of the GCPP are open. Apply here - https://lnkd.in/gxHuyb9
