Hi @obeyai

Welcome to the DHIS2 Community of Practice! You are in the right place to connect with the community as well as [researchers](https://community.dhis2.org/t/dhis2-research-forum/60633).

Pleas see **for a more specific page with contact information and current research projects related to DHIS2, please see: [Information Systems (IS) - Department of Informatics](https://www.mn.uio.no/ifi/english/research/groups/is/index.html)**

There are always local universities that do research related to HIS and DHIS2, so you’re welcome to share your findings here too!

Also, I’ve noticed that the Gambia has been known for the EMIS/Education stories and implementation, would this be something you are interested in? In this page you can see at least 7 education action research publications from the Gambia, [Action Research - DHIS2](https://education.dhis2.org/our-approach/research/). I would suggest to connect with these researchers and get some insights from them.

For general information, these sites have a good overview:

- [Research - HISP Centre](https://www.mn.uio.no/hisp/english/research/index.html)
- [Research - DHIS2](https://dhis2.org/research/)

Please continue to share your findings and questions. Thanks!

Good luck with your PhD
