When the #Ghana Health Service embarked on its #COVID19 vaccination effort in 2021, it began using digital tablets to collect case-based data for the first time in the country's history. 📱💉🇬🇭 This technology and data would allow health workers to target geographic areas with low #vaccination rates, ensure better continuity of care and bolster communities' confidence in the #health system. 📈💡👍 Ghanaian health workers told us about their experiences using digital tools to vaccinate more than half the country's population. 👏⤵️

#Energy poverty is acute along Colombia’s #mining corridor. 🇨🇴⛏️ The recent and sudden exodus of numerous international mining companies as part of the country’s #energytransition process has been devastating for communities long dependent on mining activity for jobs and income opportunities. How can these communities quickly benefit from the energy transition while building trust and interest in the broader, national-level process? ⚡️🤝 Together with representatives from six different communities along the country's mining corridor, as well as national and local government authorities, donors and organizations, R4D's Governance Action Hub recently identified the necessary changes and goals for moving toward a collective vision of an equitable #greenenergy transition in #Colombia. Senior Fellow Katherine Bain captured a series of insights about the participatory approach and process in a blog post.
