Emerging challenges in global health dermatology: measuring impact and sustainability
With increasing numbers of initiatives addressing health inequity in dermatology there is growing interest among funders and nonprofits in defining and measuring two key aspects of global health success: impact and sustainability. The demands to clearly describe and demonstrate impact and sustainability in global health dermatology and health equity programmes from funders are to ensure accountability, proper use of funds and mutually beneficial outcomes. There is no one-size-fits-all method for evaluating health interventions. Instead, we highlight approaches that can be tailored to specific global health efforts to better conceptualize areas to improve operational strategies and their implementation internally and communication with funders externally.
