The University of Oslo is happy to announce the  Community Health Information Systems Academy (CHIS)  Level 2 Academy to be hosted on 26-30 June at the Giraffe Hotel, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

This academy serves as a practical guide for national and local-decision makers involved in the design, planning, deployment, governance and scale up of community-based health data systems in DHIS2 with a focus on integrating community data into the national HMIS. 

This guidance covers the full information cycle, including data collection, analysis, dissemination (feedback loops) and data-driven decision making for improved and equitable community-based health services. It is applicable both to countries that are just beginning the design process as well as those with existing systems that are being strengthened, scaled up or integrated with other information systems.
