HISP Ethiopia had an engaging and impactful week supporting three sector-wide workshops focused on advancing DHIS2-based digital solutions for national programs. Our team contributed to strengthening systems and driving evidence-based decision-making across the health, education, and agriculture sectors.
Health Sector — ISS Tool Harmonization & Digitization
May 19–21, 2026
In collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health, Family Guidance Association of Ethiopia (FGAE), and key stakeholders, HISP Ethiopia participated in the review, refinement, and validation of Integrated Support Supervision (ISS) tools for RH/FP/AYH programs.
Our contribution focused on supporting the transition of ISS tools into a digitized DHIS2-based platform—laying the groundwork for streamlined, coherent, and data-driven supervision processes.
Education Sector — Norway Holistic Program Co-Creation Workshop
May 18–19, 2026
Held in Adama, the two-day co-creation workshop brought together UNICEF Ethiopia, TaRL Africa, Imagine1Day, Light for the World, and regional education offices.
HISP Ethiopia presented a DHIS2-based digital system designed to collect, analyze, and visualize project data. This system aims to support evidence-based planning and decision-making for improved teaching and learning outcomes.
Stakeholder feedback played a critical role in shaping a more robust, user-centered platform.
Agriculture Sector — Animal Health Surveillance System Workshop
May 18–21, 2026
As part of the national initiative to strengthen animal health surveillance, HISP Ethiopia joined the Ministry of Agriculture, FAO, Project HOPE, and partners to review system requirements and streamline workflows.
The workshop concluded with a clear action plan covering system architecture, data standards, field testing, and piloting—defining the path toward a unified DHIS2-based animal health surveillance system.
A Cross-Sector Momentum Toward Digital Transformation
Across all three workshops, collaboration and digital innovation were the central themes.
The week highlighted the growing demand for integrated, data-driven systems and reaffirmed DHIS2 as a powerful platform capable of supporting national programs across multiple sectors.
