Digital Pandemic Preparedness Assessment: Toolkit Version 2.0 and final assessment reports
The DPPA Toolkit includes nine elements, available below in English and French.
The Digital Pandemic Preparedness Assessment (DPPA) Toolkit was commissioned by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to the GFA Consulting Group on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and with support from Digital Square. The tool aims to provide a systematic methodology to identify the need for digital tools that integrate with countries’ existing digital ecosystems while also modernizing their overall pandemic preparedness. The DPPA integrates and builds on data from the USAID Map and Match project and also uses the EDIT tool developed by the Kati collective to help assess the state of digital health readiness.
The DPPA Tool, first published in 2021, has now been tested and refined in assessments, which were carried out in five countries (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Togo) in 2021-2022. After completing these assessments, GIZ updated the Toolkit to Version 2.0 and completed the following analyses and reports.
