We are excited to announce that @DigitalSQR has recognised OpenCRVS as a Digital Square Global Good! We are committed to helping countries have adequate #civilregistration systems that enable them to provide #equitable and #inclusive #services to their citizens.
Robust civil registration & vital statistics (#CRVS) systems are necessary for effective #publichealth decision-making, requiring accurate birth/death data and cause of death.
#MeetOurGlobalGood @OpenCRVS serving low-resource countries to have adequate systems in place.
#NoticeG
ALT Digital Square at PATH is excited to announce 36 global goods from 19 countries spread across six continents as the successful applicants of the first round of Notice G. Launched in late August 2022, Notice G was a unique call for software applications, focused on a revised evaluation of Digital Square’s current approved global goods and identification of new global goods. Unlike previous calls, Notice G was not associated with funding, allowing us to open up the process to focus on a tool’s alignment with open source principles and maturity. Digital Square global goods are health-focused tools that are impactful, scalable, and adaptable to different countries and contexts. These free and open source digital health tools look to reduce fragmentation and duplication to accelerate scale and health impact.
