Project Background

The Health Alliance for Digital Development and Action (HADDA) is a program that aims at strengthening Somalia’s digital health information system. This will provide the Ministry of Health with sound and reliable information that will be the basis for decision-making at Federal and Member State levels and provide critical input for the development partners to prioritize their health-strengthening interventions based on evidence. Based on the findings and recommendations from HIS assessment, HADDA will focus on the digitalization of HMIS tools of selected health facilities and strengthening the stewardship and governance capacity of the Ministries of Health in managing the digitalized health information system.

The HADDA program will:

  • Develop a Health Information Management system in selected maternal and child health facilities in Banaadir, Galmudug and Puntland to improve data quality for decision-making at the national, regional, and local levels in Somalia
  • Integrate the HMIS system with the District Health Information System 2 (DHIS2), the chosen platform to unify all national public health data.
  • Strengthen the capacity for Somalia to digitalize health data in a way that also develops the capacity of health sector professionals
  • Produce evidence and track progress in the selected health clinics that will inform the further development of Somalia’s health system to cover other program areas and regions
  • Strengthen cross-sector collaboration for Somalia’s health strategy and service delivery for improved public health.
