Creating integrated digital health care systems that lead to better health outcomes is complicated. Technology is one piece of the puzzle, along with making quality data accessible to health workers, administrators, and policy makers at all levels of the health system. Since 2017, JSI has partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support the Ethiopian Ministry of Health (MOH) and regional health bureaus (RHBs) improve the collection, management, and use of health information across the health system through the Data Use Partnership (DUP). Collaborating with various sector actors, the project helped to advance the country’s digital health efforts that increased the generation and enhanced use of high-quality data for informed decision-making. In January 2024, amidst the evolving landscape of the country’s health information system (HIS) and dynamic changes in digital health technologies, the second phase of the project, DUP 2.0, began.
