Strengthening Diverse Capacities through Diverse Approaches at Partner Universities Data for Impact (D4I), funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), supports countries to generate and use high-quality data to improve their programs, policies, and—ultimately—health outcomes. D4I also strengthens the technical and organizational capacity of local organizations and actors to collect, analyze, and use data to support their sustainable development. One successful approach D4I has adopted involved capacity strengthening of universities in Armenia and Moldova, Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, and Malawi.
