COVID-19 Map and Match

The USAID-funded Map & Match project helps countries, donors, implementing partners, and the global digital health community at large to leverage and adapt existing digital tools in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the world learned during the West Africa Ebola outbreak response, prioritizing the reuse and adaptation of existing digital tools is vital to quickly scale access to time-sensitive disease information and data.

Through this project, Digital Square at PATH sought to understand the landscape of existing, adaptable software tools used at scale in countries, and subsequently matched those tools with potential use cases for COVID-19. After a broad landscaping in which data was collected from over 130 countries, the project narrowed the scope to validate and collect additional information for 23 countries.

For this set of countries, all in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, Digital Square launched a survey and conducted key informant interviews with ministries of health and local partners in the country. Digital Square also conducted in-depth data collection and interviews with partners in the project’s global good community.
