Q: can you share some examples of where you are beginning to see results that are improving access/ availibility or use of data?  
  • A:  ??  - Most of our countries are migrant populates and let's say a mother travels from Sudan to Uganda.  The child is given a dose before migrating and then three months latter in Uganda the child needs another dose of immunization.  Sharing data makes it easier.  
  • A: Malawi - bringing data from systems together 
Q: What can external institutions like Africa CDC and WHO do to support the future directions in HIS?
  • A: Uganda- Capacity building in ICT
  • A: Liberia- Also capacity building in ICT, health system analysts, etc. Infrastructure needs- Internet penetration is only at 8% in liberia, so applications reliant on internet have challenges in scaling. Electricity reliability and access is also an issue across the country. 
  • A: Tanzania: issues of standards and human resources across technical experts and users. 
  • A: Rwanda - our partners should be part of the journey
