Participants profile

As this is a Level 2 DHIS2 academy, it is expected that participants have skill in using DHIS2 analytics processes as a basic. If this is your first time working with DHIS2, you are not a suitable candidate. 

Who this Academy is targeting

1. Registration by country team  
  •  3-5 participants from each country including EPI and/or disease surveillance leads, HMIS leads, and system admin/developer.

Structure of the Academy

The Academy will include 2 tracks:

  1. Implementation: Focuses on use of the Maps app for Immunization campaign planning (micro planning) and disease surveillance using latest features and population sources. This will include countries building maps to complement their current Excel/REDREC tools

  2. Technical: Focus on producing and printing maps in QGIS that are not possible in DHIS2 and adding population data from outside sources where available 

Note: Both tracks should come back together on the last two days to work on implementation and training plans.
