Digital Square Notice G1 - Content Global Goods

Notice G1 aims to identify and promote high-quality digital health content that qualifies as a global good. The digital health content tools should address country-driven health needs and ultimately contribute to inclusive and equitable health outcomes for all. This call seeks to support the discoverability, accessibility, and promotion of content global goods. Through advocacy and providing support for these tools, we aim to reduce fragmentation and duplication to accelerate use at scale and health impact. 

A mature digital health content global good is a resource, toolkit, or data standard that is available under an open license and that is used to improve or analyze the capabilities required to manage health data. Capabilities include those related to resource allocation, people, hardware, software, infrastructure, and operations. 

Key attributes of a content global good are: 

• Available under an appropriate Creative Commons license or similar. 

• Aligned with the Digital Public Goods (DPG) Standard. 

• Supported by a strong community with a clear governance structure. 

• Funded by multiple sources. 

• Uptake at scale (relative to use case for the content) across multiple countries and/or diverse projects. 

• Demonstrated effectiveness. 

Examples of content global goods may include, but are not limited to: 

• Training content
