Sharing Digital Square's updated strategy for public comment

Digital Square has updated its strategy for 2022 in draft form and welcomes any input and questions from the community through December 17, 2021 via email to Vrunda Rathod (vrathod@path.org).

The Digital Square Strategy outlines the vision, theory of change, and role of the initiative to increase understanding of both why the Digital Square initiative exists and how Digital Square works. The strategy is divided into sections addressing each of these components:

• The Digital Square Vision. Building from the Digital Square Manifesto published in 2019, the first section of this strategy outlines the large-scale impact that Digital Square hopes to contribute to and current barriers to creating this impact.

• The Digital Square Theory of Change. The theory of change presented in this strategy hopes to illustrate how a more aligned and coordinated digital health sector can contribute to health outcomes.

• Digital Square’s Role. The final section of this strategy outlines the three primary workstreams of the Digital Square initiative: Alignment & Co-Investment, Global Goods, and Regional & Country Systems. For each of these workstreams, the strategy presents activities that are in-scope and out-of-scope for the initiative. The strategy also includes priorities and learning questions associated with each workstream.
