FASTR

The FASTR
Analytics Platform.

Collaborative data analysis for health systems.

Helping Ministries of Health strengthen primary health care and improve RMNCAH-N outcomes through rapid-cycle analysis and use of data.

An initiative of the Global Financing Facility (GFF)

What it is

FASTR's statistical analyses, in the hands of country teams.

At the heart of the platform is the FASTR analytical methodology – rigorous analysis of routine health data and health facility phone surveys, developed by the Global Financing Facility with country partners and applied with Ministries of Health in more than 25 countries. Analysis that once required specialist analysts and weeks of work.

The FASTR Analytics Platform makes those analyses something a ministry team runs themselves. Import routine HMIS or health facility phone survey data, and the analyses run in minutes– producing results the team can explore, interrogate, and take straight to decision-makers.

A quick look at the platform.

The analyses

Robust statistical analysis, run in minutes.

I.

Data quality.

Data quality. Automated assessment of completeness, outliers, and consistency in HMIS data– with adjustments so trends reflect service delivery, not reporting artefacts.

II.

Service utilization.

Monthly trends in priority RMNCAH-N services from routine HMIS data, including disruption analysis that compares observed volumes against expected.

III.

Coverage.

Coverage estimates from routine data and population denominators, tracked against country-specific targets and benchmarks.

IV.

Health facility phone surveys.

Results from rapid-cycle health facility phone surveys measuring service availability and service readiness with data collected quarterly.

Each analysis runs as a module: versioned, reproducible statistical code implementing the published FASTR methodology. Import new data and every result refreshes automatically – no programming required.

From analysis to action

Every result, ready to put in front of decision-makers.

The FASTR visualization editor

Visualizations.

Every metric the analyses produce can be explored as charts, maps, and tables – filtered, disaggregated, and exported.

The FASTR slide deck editor

Slide decks.

Assemble analysis results into presentation-ready decks with live figures – when the data updates, the deck updates.

The FASTR report editor

Reports.

Long-form analytical reports with embedded live figures, ready to export and circulate.

Plus live dashboards and an AI assistant that helps interpret results and draft narrative – the full path from raw data to ministerial briefing, inside one platform.

Methodology

Open methodology.

The FASTR methodology documentation walks through the full process: identifying questions and indicators, extracting and preparing data, assessing data quality, estimating coverage, and communicating results. The same methods run inside the platform's modules – every result is traceable to a documented, peer-reviewable method.
