    4. Use of DHIS v2 - Jan 2011 Any kind of use from small pilots to country-wide HIS

    6. Example implementation - Kenya Started Oct 2010 with a vision to use DHIS 2 as an integrated national HIS, lead by HIS division at MoH, funded by DANIDA and USAID May-Dec 2011: roll-out to all districts in the country – focus on end-user training and connectivity Online deployment, 1 server, all districts using USB modems and mobile Internet, monthly paper forms sent from health facilities to districts – and then onto DHIS 2 online The local DHIS team has configured the DHIS 2 database with guidance from Oslo team Much focus on training and capacity building (at national, province, district levels)
