7. 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).
