DHIS History 1997: DHIS1 in Western Cape Province, South Africa 2000: DHIS1 becomes national system in South Africa 2006: First DHIS 2 implementation in Kerala, India 2010: First national online DHIS2 implementation in Kenya 2012: PSI adopts DHIS 2 Multi-country systems 2013: MSF adopts DHIS 2 External contributions, dev team collaboration 2013: PEPFAR adopts DHIS 2 Partner reporting, data approval 2015: NGO adoption taking off
DHIS 2 is a Platform, not a system Supports capture, management and analysis of information Flexible data platform. Each organization build their OWN system on top of it (similar to e.g. Salesforce, SAP etc) Open source => local ownership and control, capacity building, and community support Extensible through APIs and apps
Supporting national scale systems

DHIS2 Country Team Effective use of information depends upon a good and solid design of indicators and other metadata, especially as requirements are bound to change over time, in order to ensure sustainability and interoperability. To make sure countries build up the necessary technical capacity to successfully coordinate run and maintain DHIS2 over time, we suggest the establishment of DHIS2 Country Teams (DCTs).
