Intergovernmental Learning Exchange to Advance Data-Driven Decision-Making (I-LEAD) Curriculum
I-LEAD is an immersive, problem-solving set of interactive activities that engages participants in generating and sharing knowledge and developing skills needed to facilitate the successful implementation of an effective and sustainable national digital health ecosystem. The I-LEAD workshop facilitates the initial phases of a multistakeholder, multisectoral, and enterprise approach to the ongoing operationalization of effective and sustainable national digital health systems. I-LEAD enhances participants’ capacity to develop strategies and approaches to address essential informatics problems their countries face, related to: 1) effective digital health governance and leadership; 2) development of a skilled informatics workforce; and 3) the meaningful design, development, implementation, and evaluation of health information systems.
As PEPFAR transitions its programs to host governments, the I-LEAD program provides a template for countries to systematically and collaboratively address complex program ownership and sustainability challenges.
The I-LEAD curriculum
This Adaptable I-LEAD curriculum provides a comprehensive, customizable capacity-strengthening package designed to support governments and implementing partners, including national and regional health informatics associations, in adopting and implementing the I-LEAD program independently. This curriculum is designed to support individual countries in convening the right stakeholders and conducting all necessary preparations for a successful and productive workshop. The curriculum empathizes not just the activities that happen during the in-person workshop but also the necessary pre-work for all participants to come prepared to collaborate meaningfully and make key decisions.
Specifically, the curriculum includes the I-LEAD technical course content, an implementation guide to support the entire process, from initial engagement and workshop logistics to post-course evaluation, as well as facilitation guides aimed at strengthening the capacity of course facilitators. It also includes a localization toolkit to guide national adaptation.
