BENGALURU, India and BOSTON, Mass. – July 23, 2025—eGovernments Foundation and Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) have announced a strategic three-year partnership to drive digital transformation in health service delivery and public financial management across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The two organizations are already collaborating in Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Nigeria.
For millions of people in LMICs, accessing health services often means long waits, incomplete records, and health workers without accurate or timely information on campaign progress or supply availability. Governments also struggle with limited visibility into how financial resources are allocated and spent. This partnership aims to address these challenges by supporting governments in moving from paper-based, manual, fragmented systems to integrated, scalable digital solutions.
The collaboration leverages eGov’s DIGIT platform, specifically the Health Campaign Management (HCM) tool, and the Integrated Finance Information Exchange (iFIX) platform. These open-source tools have demonstrated success in helping governments enhance the efficiency of health campaigns—such as bed net distributions, mass drug administrations, and immunization efforts—and improve the transparency, efficiency, and timeliness of public financial data for better planning and resource use.
CHAI brings deep expertise in health program delivery and system strengthening and has supported governments globally in implementing digital tools to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of health programs. Through this partnership, CHAI helps ensure the technologies are grounded in the realities of public health workflows and responsive to local contexts, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
eGovernments Foundation brings deep technical and product development expertise, with a strong track record of building scalable digital public infrastructure. As part of this partnership, eGov will lead technical implementation, including system setup and infrastructure provisioning. It will customize platforms to align with country-specific health and financial workflows, train government health and IT personnel, and establish in-country technical support capacity. In addition, eGov will provide system upgrades, advisory services on digital governance, and ensure sustainable knowledge transfer so governments can maintain and evolve the platforms independently.
“Building digital public infrastructure that works across diverse contexts requires partnerships that bring together complementary strengths,” said Viraj Tyagi, CEO of eGovernments Foundation. “The most impactful digital public goods emerge when organizations share knowledge and expertise rather than working in silos. This collaboration enables us to create solutions that can adapt to different health systems and scale across the countries that need them most.”
Together, the organizations aim to enable governments to conduct more effective and coordinated health campaigns, respond faster during health emergencies, and better track campaign outcomes and public expenditures. Improved financial data access will support ministries in allocating resources more strategically and ensuring value for money in health investments.
“We’ve seen the tremendous impact that well-coordinated health campaigns and transparent financial systems can have on saving lives,” said Lakshmi Balachandran, Senior Director of Digital Health at CHAI. ” By pairing CHAI’s public health and implementation experience with eGov’s deep technical capabilities, this partnership helps governments bring cost-effective, high-impact digital solutions to scale.”
The partnership exemplifies the power of cross-sector collaboration to strengthen government-led systems and deliver better public health outcomes through the responsible use of technology.
