The Digital Health Activity (DHA) is a five-year, USAID-funded Activity implemented by JSI. With inspiration from the Information Revelation agenda, the project has four key pillars: Digitization, Data Use, Capacity Building and Governance. Under digitization, DHA adopts global public goods to develop and customize various digital health tools that facilitate the improvement of quality of care. Data use, development of culture of data use at all levels of the health system and ensuring data is properly used for better and improved decision making. Moreover, adoption and use of best practices and policies in digital health interventions and working with higher institutions and private sector for sustainability. DHA is helping build a sustainable, resilient, and interoperable health information system (HIS) that ensures the entire health sector has the data, analytics, and skills necessary to improve the health and wellbeing of all Ethiopians.
