DHIS2 for Education is a free and open-source education management information system (EMIS), powered by the DHIS2 software, that helps users collect, analyze, visualize, and use data from educational institutions to help countries track and measure progress towards education goals.
DHIS2 is an open-source, license-free data management platform developed by the HISP Centre at the University of Oslo (HISP UiO), and is freely available as a Digital Public Good. DHIS2 is the result of 30+ years of participatory design with stakeholders in the Global South, and is actively supported by the global HISP network. More than 80 countries worldwide use DHIS2 for collecting and analyzing health data, and DHIS2 for Education extends the platform from the health sector to the education sector—enabling the collection, analysis, visualization, and use of individual and aggregate data from institutions of learning.
DHIS2 for Education is developed through a research project at the University of Oslo Department of Informatics. The lab coordinates research designs, data collection, and iterative action research with the HISP network and health ministries.
The DHIS2 Community of Practice (CoP) is the primary online forum for DHIS2 discussion, sharing and support. Visit the CoP to join ongoing conversations related to implementation and use of DHIS2 as an EMIS, ask questions and share your thoughts.
The DHIS2 Academy program aims to strengthen national and regional capacity to successfully design, implement, maintain, and customize sustainable, locally-owned DHIS2 systems. Check out our in-person training and self-paced courses online.
DHIS2 for Education is supported as a Digital Public Good through funding from international organizations such as the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad), the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (GPE KIX), and is developed and implemented in collaboration with local partners.
