DHIS 2 Key Partners at HISP Oslo

On 17th March, an exclusive partners meeting was held at HISP-UiO gatheringNorad, the Global Fund, PEPFAR, UNICEF, WHO, GAVI and USAID. 
 
The need for resources and coordination are increasing at national, regional and global levels to deliver a robust and relevant DHIS 2 platform and to support countries in implementing national health information systems. 
 
Norad, PEPFAR, Global FUND, UNICEF and WHO agreed to continue to work together to coordinate their support of HISP-UiO and implementation of DHIS 2 as a component of HIS in countries. The new partners GAVI and USAID agreed to explore how they could participate in the collaboration. The group agreed to invite other organizations to join the partnership to support DHIS 2 and coordinate activities in countries.
 
Once again, we would like to thank our Partners for their continuous support!
