DataKind and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi) released a report on leveraging AI and data science to enhance vaccine coverage and address access disparities, which persist despite global advancements in vaccine technology and distribution. The outcome of an almost year-long partnership with Gavi, and funded by Wellcome Trust, the report provides a comprehensive look into the present digital landscape and identifies impactful solutions, key gaps, and priorities for investment. The report’s findings offer a roadmap for leveraging digital innovation to achieve universal health coverage and vaccination coverage targets. DataKind also developed two model solutions. The first uses the Data Observation Toolkit (DOT), a data integrity software developed by DataKind, and a digital public good, to demonstrate automated data quality checks on immunization data and flagging issues, ensuring data accuracy and reliability for better decision-making on vaccine coverage. The second solution demonstrates a large language model (LLM) based training tool for the vaccine health workforce that streamlines information access and provides automatic quizzes from approved resources. Informed by the report findings and key considerations, DataKind plans to further develop and scale these pilot solutions for Gavi and stakeholders across the Gavi Alliance and INFUSE Pacesetters with additional investment.

DataKind partnered with The Global Opportunity Youth Network (GOYN), and its anchor partner in Mombasa, Kenya, Swahilipot Hub Foundation, to explore the power of data science and AI in providing an innovative solution to match “opportunity youth” (young people aged 18-35, who are out of school, unemployed, or working in informal jobs) with employment opportunities. With generous support from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, we share our experience in delivering an algorithm to enable demand-matching between available jobs, training programs, and mentorship for opportunity youth. ➡ https://bit.ly/3V0B0u3 #datakind #datascience #AI #opportunityyouth #youthunemployment #jobmatching #demandmatching #algorithm #socialimpact
