Decentralized data use and cross-sector data sharing
Since 2011, the Ministry of Health has used DHIS2 as a national health management information system and since 2019 has leveraged on this existing capacity to expand to the education sector. The Basic Education Department at the Ministry of Education and Sports, has been piloting DHIS2-DEMIS; a district-level Education Management Information System, with 4 districts as learning sites. This has enabled district education officers and leadership to capture, visualize, analyze and use EMIS data for routine planning, resource allocation, monitoring, support supervision and evidence-based decision making at district level.
