Welcome to our fifth roundup of DAC2025 Community Innovations! This week we explore 14 innovations from Malawi, Zimbabwe, the U.S., Ethiopia, Kenya, Chad, Rwanda, Uganda, Republic of the Congo, the Americas as well as global scale implementations. Through these real-world examples, you’ll gain a profound understanding of DHIS2’s key strengths and how implementers resolve the challenges they face in the field. These projects have been accepted for presentation at the 2025 DHIS2 Annual Conference.
Every week we will be sharing a weekly roundup of DAC2025 innovations that were posted to the DHIS2 Community of Practice to help you learn more about these exciting DHIS2 projects. You can also see the new innovations as soon as they are posted, or browse them all, using the dac2025 tag.
