*The African Development Bank launches an eHealth award - Please share the
information*


On 19 April, the African Development Bank (AfDB) launched a competition for
innovative and sustainable information and communication technology (ICT)
solutions for the health sector in Africa. The eHealth Award aims to
discover current work being done in the fields of e- and m-health in
Africa; to encourage the production and sharing of knowledge on eHealth
solutions, and provide added value through the sharing of lessons learnt in
e- and m-health.

The award targets a range of participants, including individuals, NGOs,
development organizations, companies, academic institutions and research
facilities. The criteria and focus of the award are centered on a) using
ICT to increase access to health services, particularly for the poor and
marginalized b) using ICT to increase the utilization of essential health
services and/or c) the evaluation of eHealth solutions to improve
efficiency in the delivery of health services.

The deadline for submissions from participants is 30 May 2012.  Submissions
should be an abstract of 500 words from their projects, after which the
shortlisted candidates will need to produce an evaluation report. The
winning projects will be presented in an AfDB publication and winners will
be given a prize.
