What went well
What could have been better
Real innovation happens not in one sector or under one theme, but when it connects multiple sectors and stakeholders. The pilot played to ADB’s strengths as a convener of multiple partners who otherwise would not necessarily connect and collaborate with each other, including development agencies, the government, the private sector, civil society, and nongovernment organizations.
It would have been better to link the digital health strategy with an investment case for digital health. The project could have capitalized more on the momentum of the participatory approach in developing the strategy and linking this project to larger capacity development e orts for health information system management together with WHO.
