Read the Latest Global Health Impact Report!

CanWaCH is pleased to announce the release of the 2025 Global Health Impact Report.

This edition takes a closer look at what it means to generate evidence in a rapidly shifting global health data landscape. Alongside updated insights from the Project Explorer and new findings from our 2025 data drives, the report explores key developments shaping how impact is understood and used across the sector, including:

• What the closure of the DHS Program means for global health data systems, accountability and decision-making

• Why qualitative and descriptive data are no longer optional, but essential for understanding how and why change happens

• How results-based management can evolve to better support learning, adaptability and community-driven impact

Drawing on practitioner consultations, the work of CanWaCH’s Metrics Working Group and insights from the 2025 Global Health Impact Summit, the report makes the case for evidence systems that value rigor and relevance, bringing numbers and narratives together.
