About the DHIS2 Online Academy
Offering training pathways to DHIS2 expertise for learners and professionals around the world
Our Mission
The mission of the DHIS2 Academy program is to help build global capacity for the DHIS2 software platform, with the goal of strengthening information systems that countries and organizations use to manage information.
Through the DHIS2 Online Academy, we want users of DHIS2 from all over the world to be able to learn DHIS2 at their own pace and in their own time, to connect to other users and teachers to share their experiences and knowledge. We hope that by taking our courses, you are able to build valuable DHIS2 skills and increase your understanding of DHIS2 and how it fits into the larger information ecosystem, both within the health sector and beyond.
DHIS2
DHIS2 is a free and open-source software platform for the collection, validation, analysis, and presentation of aggregate and individual-level data, tailored for (but not limited to) integrated health information management activities. As a generic platform, DHIS2 is highly configurable and customizable, and has extensive interfaces allowing for integration with other systems. It is also a platform for innovation, enabling the development of apps by a global network of software developers. DHIS2 is used by national health authorities in more than 70 countries, as well as international organizations like International Committee of the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders, to manage health programs and other data.
