Training on Data Governance and DHIS2 Advanced Analytics
Course Overview
What is Data Governance and DHIS2 Advanced Analytics?
Data Governance refers to the framework of policies, standards, processes, and accountability mechanisms used to ensure the quality, security, accessibility, integrity, and effective use of data across organizations and health systems.
DHIS2 (District Health Information Software 2) is a widely used open-source health information platform designed for collecting, managing, analyzing, and visualizing health data to support public health decision-making and system performance monitoring.
Advanced analytics in DHIS2 enables organizations to transform national health data into actionable insights through dashboards, indicators, predictive analysis, trend monitoring, geographic mapping, and data-driven reporting for evidence-based policy and strategic planning.
Many health systems collect large volumes of data but struggle to transform that information into meaningful insights for decision-making. Common challenges include poor data quality, fragmented reporting systems, inconsistent governance structures, limited analytical capacity, weak interoperability, and underutilization of national health data.
Additionally, decision-makers often lack the skills needed to interpret data trends, develop analytical dashboards, monitor key performance indicators, and use data effectively for policy formulation and resource allocation.
Without strong data governance and advanced analytical capabilities, health systems face reduced efficiency, delayed responses, weak accountability, and poor strategic planning outcomes.
This course equips participants with practical skills and strategic frameworks for strengthening data governance systems and leveraging DHIS2 advanced analytics for evidence-based policymaking.
Participants will learn how to improve data quality management, establish governance structures, design advanced dashboards, conduct trend analysis, develop indicators, visualize national health data, and generate actionable insights for health planning and decision-making.
The training also focuses on data security, interoperability, reporting automation, performance monitoring, and analytical techniques that strengthen health information systems and improve policy effectiveness.
