Tag: Decentralized Data Collection

In the vast Democratic Republic of Congo, managing and updating health system geographic data is a major challenge. While the National Health Information System Directorate (DSNIS) uses DHIS2, it falls short in addressing key issues of data validation, control, and coordination. To overcome this, DSNIS adopted IASO, Bluesquare’s open-source georegistry, through the USAID PROSANI project.

IASO has partnered with LifeNet International to develop a unified M&E platform that spans six countries—Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Malawi, and Ghana. This platform integrates geo-structured data collection, decentralized user management, and seamless DHIS2 integration, empowering LifeNet to improve healthcare coordination across its extensive network.
