The BID Learning Network (BLN) invites you to view the webinar slides from “Piloting of the e-Tracker App in the DHIS2 in The Gambia.” In 2016, the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) of The Gambia received a small grant from the BLN to pilot an Electronic Immunization Registry (EIR) with the main objective of strengthening the data management capacity at central and regional levels in the country. During this webinar, the presenter described Gambia’s experience with piloting the e-Tracker App in DHIS2. He specifically highlighted the process, the challenges and lessons learned.
This webinar will be of interest to Data Management Specialists, EPI Managers, Health Management Information System (HMIS) Specialists and other health care specialists committed to improving data collection, quality and use across the health system.
If you missed the virtual event, you can now review the slides.
