East Africa regional DHIS 2 Implementer’s workshop
The University of Dar es Salaam and University of Oslo are hosting an East African regional DHIS 2 implementers workshop in Dar es Salaam on June 20-30, 2011. Participants from more than 10 countries will go through an intensive and practical training program on how to set up, maintain, and make best use of the DHIS 2 software.
Co-hosted by the University of Dar es Salaam and University of Oslo, the East African regional DHIS 2 implementer’s workshop will take place in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on June 20-30, 2011.
Over the last few years the interest for the DHIS 2 software has increased rapidly, especially in Eastern and Western Africa, and there is a huge and growing demand for technical assistance to set up and run the software. This workshop aims to strengthen the capacity of in-country and regional teams in the East Africa region to successfully set up, design, and maintain DHIS 2.
Through an intensive 10 day training program with both theoretical/conceptual and practical sessions the participants will learn the principles of the DHIS 2 design, how to set up DHIS 2 to support your country′s data collection, analysis, and reporting needs, and learn and discuss strategies for national-scale deployment and training within the larger framework of developing an integrated HIS.
There will also be a chance to discuss the different countries' DHIS 2 challenges and plans with both new and experienced DHIS 2 implementers from the region and around the world. DHIS 2 experts will be available to guide participants on practical work on their DHIS 2 databases, whether it is in an initial or more advanced phase, e.g. help designing data sets and collection tools, or indicators and reporting outputs (charts, dashboards, maps, pivot tables etc).
