The Financing Alliance for Health (FAH) is an Africa-based,
African-led entity that convenes governments, donors, private
sector companies and communities to address systemic
financing challenges to scaling primary and community
health programmes at country, regional and global levels.
FAH bridges the worlds of health and finance to enable new and additional investments in health systems with primary
and community health at their core. Since its inception, FAH
has mobilized close to $660 million towards primary and
community health efforts. Additionally, FAH has supported
the recognition and institutionalization of more than 450,000
community health workers (CHWs).
MapBiomas was founded in 2015 as a collaborative
initiative in Brazil to use advanced technology and data to
monitor land use and cover changes across the country.
Today, MapBiomas supports over 20 geographic and
thematic initiatives across the world, producing maps with
precision and speed that would have been unfeasible and
prohibitively expensive in the past. By integrating satellite
imagery, machine learning (ML), cloud computing and contributions from universities, civil society and technology
start-ups, MapBiomas initiatives provide detailed annual
reports on deforestation, agricultural expansion and other
transformations in natural landscapes. Its comprehensive
datasets are crucial for understanding the impacts of human
activities on ecosystems and provide an essential tool for
policy-makers, researchers and environmental advocates.Year founded:
