The Ethiopia Data Use Partnership (DUP) Work Stream 1, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), is a collaborative project between the JSI Research and Training Institute (JSI) and the Ethiopian Ministry of Health (MOH) aimed at advancing the country’s healthcare through the Information Revolution (IR) agenda. This vision emphasizes fostering an information culture, digitizing and expanding priority Health Information System (HIS), and enhancing HIS governance. 

Objectives

The objective of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to design an effective training approach and capacitate leaders on data and data-informed decisions as well as to in place measurement tools and systems for HIS governance and data-accountability.
The specific objectives include:

1. To design curriculum and build capacity of leaders on data and data driven decision making
2. To develop measurement toolkit for HIS governance and define the current state of HIS governance through assessment
3. To develop accountability framework for HIS
4. To measure the state of HIS accountability based on the functions and recommend system improvement ideas

Developing the health system leader's capacity (addressing the gap) helps to achieve measurable improvements in HIS performance (data quality and data driven decision making/data use) which ultimately, in turn, leads to improvements in health outcomes.
