Ten years of work with Africa's health systems.

For the Ministry of Health and Social Protection: assessment of the national epidemiological surveillance application, user needs gathered from national to facility level, requirement prioritisation and acceptance testing, digitisation of the risk assessment tool, support for the pilot and scale-up, then training and SOPs.

• Assessment report and data flow mapping
• Prioritised requirements and UAT results
• Training materials and SOPs

Support for the national rollout of event-based and community-based surveillance. Design of the One Health DHIS2 Tracker with signal forms, verification and triage workflows, and risk-based escalation. Coordination of the human health, veterinary and environment sectors.

• 4 signal streams: human, animal, environmental, security
• Governance standards and metadata dictionaries
• Dashboards and performance indicators

Maintenance and technical support for childhealthtaskforce.org, the global child health network whose secretariat is hosted by Save the Children: Drupal updates, Pantheon environment management and training the team to publish content.

Design and implementation of OpenFn workflows between national systems for epidemic surveillance and immunisation reporting, with functional, integration and acceptance testing alongside national teams before going live.

• DHIS2 Immunisation to DHIS2 MPOX
• CommCare and KoboCollect to DHIS2 Surveillance
• Less manual data entry, faster reporting

Interoperability between SIDAInfo (HIV patient records), IBIPIMO (laboratory information system) and DHIS2. Full cycle run with the Ministry and partners: requirements, specifications, test cases, acceptance testing and formal sign-off, with continuous integration on OpenFn Lightning.

• Automated HIV reporting
• Viral load requests and results exchanged automatically
• Adaptors developed with the OpenFn team

Development and validation of a machine learning system that anticipates epidemic threshold exceedances by district and week. Data pipeline combining DHIS2, NASA POWER climate data and demographics over eight years, with an explanation for every alert and a native DHIS2 app for ANSS.
