IICD-supported project: District Health Management Information System, Tanzania

Ill health is often identified as the most frequent cause and reason for poverty. One of the more successful ICT-based solutions that IICD has developed together with local partners and CORDAID to improve the quality of health care is the health management information system (HMIS). The system helps to overcome problems with poor-quality data, inefficient processing of information, and duplicated efforts among parallel health institutions. Thanks to the system the number of medical fatalities associated with human error can be significantly reduced. The success of the HMIS-projects helped to convince policy makers in both Tanzania and Uganda to use ICT to further strengthen the health sector. As a result IICD and the local partners are now supporting the Ministry of Health in these countries in the development of sector-wide ICT policies.

This video shows how the District Health Management Information System in Tanzania addresses some fundamental issues within the health sector in Tanzania.

Satisfaction of project partners with IICD’s support

Compared to 2006, satisfaction levels amongst project partners during the project-formulation phase declined in 2007. One reason for this could be that for some of those projects – around 50% – there was a relatively long waiting period before implementation could begin. For a number of different reasons, the formulation process took longer than expected. In spite of this, the overall figures for direct assistance and ownership are quite high.

[possibly graph to be inserted: Project formulation, see AR full text in Word]

The level of satisfaction amongst project partners with regard to IICD’s support during implementation dropped somewhat in 2007 compared to 2006. This lower level might be due in part to the changing role that IICD is playing in those countries where projects are now running without continued financial support from IICD. Partners that are now operating independently nevertheless often continue to request additional strategic advice and support from IICD.
