Hi COP,  
I am looking for a template or suggestions as how to evaluate a DHIS2 database (aggregate) specifically for Public/Population Health.  
What should be evaluated?  
An example is for immunisation, all coverage indicators and relevant drop out indicators should be calculated correctly  
Nutrition, RMNACH, NCDs, HIV/TB indicators etc would all be included  
What else is missing from this type of evaluation?  
Thanks

Hi Norah!

Thank you for this post which could be a start for a great resource for the community! Asking the correct questions before design and implementation saves projects a lot of debugging and errors in the long run.

While I couldn’t find specific documentation that covers this entirely, I have some ideas:

- Triaging to the team (@jason, @Olav, @AnneThorseng, @Shurajit_Dutta, @brian, @Stefano, and @Rebecca)🙏 for their insights
- A while ago @jthomas posted [Looking for Health Information Systems Assessment Templates](https://community.dhis2.org/t/looking-for-health-information-systems-assessment-templates/46839) and Anne replied about the DHIS2 Maturity framework, so maybe this could be helpful? 😃
- From the field, we have had community members point to maturity and evaluation in their implementation posts, so I will tag them here to see if anyone would like to provide their insights (@Birkinesh, @Tigabu, @vincentmasoo, @airaoje, @Lilian_Mkonyi - everyone else in the CoP are welcome to chip in with their insights or questions, thanks!)
- I know you probably had a look at the docs, so I’m wondering what in [this ‘Metadata Assessment Manual’ section](https://docs.dhis2.org/en/implement/maintenance-and-use/metadata-maintenance/metadata-integrity-and-quality.html#metadata_assessment_manual) is covered and what might still need to be covered?

I hope this will give this topic a little push. Thank you!
