# DAC2026 Community Innovations: Weekly Roundup 1

Welcome to the first Weekly Roundup of The DAC2026 Community Innovations.These roundups help you keep track of all the DHIS2 community innovations that have been accepted for the 2026 DHIS2 Annual Conference.

This week, the topics range from Climate & Health to patient-level tracking. We explore DHIS2 implementations and innovations from Kenya, The Gambia, Indonesia (Jakarta), Malawi, Sudan, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Rwanda, South Sudan, Syria (SARC) and Norway (NoRC), Tanzania, Nigeria, DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo), Sub-Saharan Africa and more.

>
> ## Climate & Health
> 
> These innovations show how important environmental data is in relation to health data and how they used DHIS2 to solve these challenges. Before diseases spread due to environmental reasons, outbreaks need to be predicted and that is possible by utilizing both health and climate information together.
