Welcome to our sixth roundup of DAC2025 Community Innovations! 
With great enthusiasm the authors of the following innovations share insights into how DHIS2 can be used to provide solutions to critical local and global challenges. You will learn about the tools available to strengthen and maintain DHIS2 systems, integrating between climate and health data as well as real-world use-cases such as using AI for disease detection. 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.
