Health Information Systems (HIS) play a critical role in Health Systems Strengthening activities. This partner (TBD) will take a key role in coordinating HIS initiatives throughout the country in an effort to make quality and appropriate data available to stakeholders. As such, funding will be needed in order to facilitate HIS strategy coordination activities, including quarterly meetings, development of requirement documents, development of use cases, reviewing the HIS landscape, standards development, database management, etc. A formal multi-sectoral HIS TWG will be created, led by the Ministry of Health, that will help push the HIS agenda forward in collaboration with this partner. Special emphasis will be placed on harmonizing data and appropriate data use and management.
