12 Already conducted: Server administration in Kigali (March-17), and Ghana (June-17) Disease Surveillance in Goa (May-17) and in Dakar (August-17) Community HIS in Oslo (June-17) Level 2 status In progress: Server Administration in India (Jan/Feb-18) Info use: data quality (Jan/Feb-18) System integration and interoperability (2018) Community HIS (Senegal, Mar - 18) Scheduled: Disease Surveillance in Namibia (Nov-17) App Development in Tanzania (Nov-17) Info use: sub-national review (Nov-17) Disease Surveillance in Vietnam (Jan-18) Android implementation (Zim, Feb- 18) Ideas being explored: DHIS2 implementation planning and budgeting Android development Tracker level 2 Design and Customisation level 2 Health program-specific? HIS architectures and data security Other suggestions?

13 A day in the life my role Level 1 Academies Coordinate with HISP nodes; HISP nodes are ultimately responsible Open registration and create Academy webpages Advise on budget and other logistics Follow up on payments. Experience has shown better responses to payment reminders from Oslo Sponsor participants Market the Academy Facebook, DHIS2 newsletter, blasts

14 A day in the life my role Level 2 Academies Decide date and venue, in consultation with HISP node supporting the Academy Establish the budget Open registration Accept applicants and follow up on payments Sponsor participants Market the Academy Facebook, DHIS2 newsletter, blasts

15 Level 2 Info use: Sub-national review Motivation: Little actual use of DHIS2 in decision-making process. Back to health for all - District as key administrative level of primary health care. Not open registration the first time, invited countries in East/Southern Africa: Pre-academy: To prepare national databases for use in the academy, including review of data, indicators, denominator data, and installation of relevant apps Academy: To give participants a thorough understanding of the information and planning cycles as they relate to routine, local, decision making, and to enable participants to support and organize appropriate training for sub-national staff in conducting this. Post-academy: To identify key challenges with national databases and make a plan for addressing this. Work on national databases Need more preparation - and follow-up after academy Tentatively a second academy Spring 2018 (West Africa?)

16 Level 2 info use: Data quality More focus on making data useful for analysis 1. DQ assessment (DQ tool) 2. DQ improvement (preventive: validation rules etc, post-hoc: data cleaning) 3. Understand impact of design on DQ Output: Make a plan for DQ assessment and procedures, as well as changes to design of HIS Work on national databases Collaboration with Statistics Norway and WHO February 2018, Rwanda?

18 But behind these cold facts and figures, what is the DHIS2 Online Academy effect ;)?

Strong Need for: DHIS2 Design and customization Course Blended learning organising DHIS2 Fundamentals in-class training session with facilitators Translation of the DHIS2 Fundamentals in French then
