Health Systems Strengthening

Part of: OWN · Life Sciences & Health

For Governments

You want one community health worker, one supply chain, one data system — for all diseases.

You have separate staff, separate logistics, separate reports for HIV, TB, malaria, polio, and maternal health. Your health workers are exhausted. Your stock-outs are chronic. You want to integrate everything — and own the integrated system. We give you the integration blueprint and training. You lead the rollout.

✅ Your community health workers deliver all services — one job, one paycheck.

✅ Your national supply chain covers every commodity — no more donor-specific warehouses.

✅ Your government co-invests 20% → 70% — because you own the integrated system.

  • What's holding you back: the vertical disease silo

    It was invented with good intentions, but now it's your biggest headache. PEPFAR has its own staff, Global Fund its own logistics, World Bank its own data. You manage all of them, but you own none of them.

    You've felt this pain:

    “We have 4 different community health worker cadres — each with different training, different supervisors, different pay.”

    “One donor's ARVs arrive late, another's malaria nets are in a different warehouse — no one coordinates.”

    “I spend half my time on integration meetings — I want to just do it.”

    We give you the tools to do it. Proven integration models from countries like Zambia and Kenya — plus the training to make it yours.

    Your Plan — 3 steps you take with our tools

    1. Audit your parallel systems

    We give you a mapping tool. You list every donor-specific staff position, supply chain warehouse, and data field.

    2. Design your unified model (you decide)

    You choose: one community health worker cadre, one national supply chain, one HIS. We provide technical options — you choose based on your context.

    3. Pilot, scale, and transition

    We train your supervisors to run the integrated system in one district. After 6 months, you expand to the region. We provide helpdesk support for 12 more months — then you're on your own.Description text goes here

For Donors

You want your disease-specific investment protected — not lost in someone else's integration process.

It's not a loss of visibility – it's an end to paying for four warehouses when one would do.

Integration can sound, from a distance, like your program's identity gets absorbed into a generic system – that the specific outcomes you fund stop being visible once everything merges into one platform. That's not what's actually happening. What gets eliminated is the duplicate administrative overhead – four warehouses, four CHW cadres, four data systems doing the same job badly – not your program's specific reporting or results.

You still get exactly the disease-specific data you need. You just stop paying to maintain a parallel system to get it.

  • Your wins, as a donor:

    ✅ You still get disease-specific reporting and outcomes data – generated automatically from one unified system, not lost in consolidation.

    ✅ Your funded commodities move through one national supply chain instead of a warehouse you're separately paying to maintain – cutting your own overhead exposure.

    ✅ You get faster outbreak and stock-out detection, because data isn't siloed by donor – protecting the continuity of the exact program you funded.

    “Within 6 months of the pilot district, your disease-specific reporting requirements are met automatically – from a system you're no longer separately paying to run.”

    This is the same principle behind our OWN pillar: one unified platform gives every donor what they actually need, without asking any of them to fund a parallel system just for themselves.

For Partners

You want your technical contribution built into the system that survives integration — not treated as the program that gets absorbed or cut.

It's not a phase-out – it's a redefinition of what your role actually is.

An organization running a vertical, disease-specific program can reasonably worry that “integration” means their specialized role disappears into a generalist model – that years of disease-specific technical expertise get flattened out in the name of efficiency. That's not the design. What gets eliminated is duplicate administration; what gets kept, and built in from the start, is disease-specific technical expertise – now serving one system instead of competing with three others.

  • Your wins, as a partner:

    ✅ Your disease-specific technical expertise is built into the unified system's design – not replaced by a generalist model that ignores what you know.

    ✅ Your specialized role in service delivery and training is what's kept; the administrative duplication – separate warehouses, separate CHW cadres – is what's eliminated, not your contribution.

    ✅ Multi-partner coordination is designed in from the pilot stage, so your organization has a defined role in the unified model from day one, not an open question about whether you're still needed.

    “Within the pilot district, your organization's technical role in the unified system is named and defined – not left as an open question about whether you're still needed.”

    This runs on the same flexible model as every solution: we bring together the named technical expertise that already exists across partners, and design the one system around it – not around replacing it.
