    Background
    The Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF) is a multi-stakeholder global partnership housed at the World Bank that is committed to ensuring all women, children and adolescents can survive and thrive. Launched in July 2015, the GFF supports 36 low and lower-middle income countries with catalytic financing and technical assistance to develop and implement prioritized national health plans to scale up access to affordable, quality care for women, children, and adolescents. The GFF also works with countries to maximize the use of domestic financing and external support for better, more sustainable health results. The GFF is squarely focused on prioritizing and scaling up evidence-driven investments to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH-N) through targeted strengthening of primary health care systems - to save lives and as a critical first step toward accelerating progress on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
    In support of these goals, the GFF supports country-led efforts to improve the timely use of data for decision-making, ultimately leading to stronger primary healthcare (PHC) systems and better reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH-N) outcomes. This set of initiatives and technical support is referred to as Frequent Assessments and System Tools for Resilience ().
    Rapid-cycle monitoring approaches provide timely, rigorous, and high-priority data that responds to each country's specific priorities and data use needs. Four technical approaches are used - analysis of routine health management information systems (HMIS) and RMNCAH-N data, (2) rapid-cycle health facility phone surveys, (3) high-frequency household surveys, conducted in partnership with the World Bank's Living Standards Measurement Study, and (4) rapid qualitative follow-ups/implementation research. Employing a collaborative and country-led approach, these analyses are further reinforced by learning and capacity enhancing activities to use the data for practical purposes. All approaches are customized to the specific country context and aim to support country initiatives. You can find more details about the GFF's rapid-cycle analytics and data use initiative here: .
    Partnership with Results for Development Institute (R4D) to support FASTR's scale-up
    In 2023, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation made a strategic investment in the GFF's rapid-cycle analytics and data use FASTR initiative via a partnership with Results for Development Institute (R4D). Support from R4D through this investment will accelerate the GFF's FASTR scaling efforts through four interrelated components:
    a) Embedded support to the GFF secretariat
    b) Deepening of the provision of direct support processes through the provision of direct support to facilitate the data-to-action process at sub-national level
