The 2026 Annual Conference is right around the corner, and we’re getting ready to share some incredible insights with you! This year, we received an amazing 152 submissions for session and poster presentations, and our team has been hard at work reviewing and sorting each one.
Now, we’re delighted to announce that these community innovations will soon be shared with all of you on the Community of Practice. Over the coming weeks, community members will be posting their selected innovations here on the CoP, and many will share digital posters (and even video presentations) as well.
So stay tuned, and follow the dac2026 and dac2026-posters tags to learn more about these exciting DHIS2 implementations, innovations and research projects around the world.
Please note that starting this Monday, April 20, 2026, the accepted dac2026 innovation posts will be published on a daily basis. After that at the end of each week, we will be sharing a weekly roundup (similar to last year’s weekly roundups).
We are looking forward to your participation. Reply to these innovations with your questions or comments, like and share with your friends.
DHIS2 has been a cornerstone in strengthening data collection, validation, analysis, and visualization within Nigeria’s public health system. Having worked in this space for over about a decade, I’ve seen firsthand how indispensable the platform has become—it’s hard to imagine achieving scale and efficiency without it.
As part of our current grant implementation, we transitioned to DHIS2 in the first year, and the impact has been truly transformative. Reporting timelines have improved significantly, report generation is now near real-time, and multiple thematic data streams have been successfully harmonized into a single platform. Today, DHIS2 supports monthly reporting across all 36 states and the FCT, covering over 20,000 organizational units. While this scale comes with complexity, adopting an ETL–DHIS2 interoperability approach has made it both feasible and efficient.
I’m excited to share that my abstract on this ETL–DHIS2 interoperability model has been accepted for the DHIS2 Annual Conference. I look forward to the opportunity to present this work and share my experience in scaling digital health systems.
I am currently exploring sponsorship opportunities to attend and present at the conference in Oslo, Norway, and would greatly appreciate any support, connections, or guidance from this community.
Thank you @Joshua_Odoma! It’s great to hear from you, and with your experience I believe you will completely enjoy the DAC2026 conference, the innovations being shared, and networking with the DHIS2 experts from across the globe.
@dkande, thanks, and welcome to the DHIS2 Community of Practice!
