Software Testing Engineer

Project Background

The Health Alliance for Digital Development and Action (HADDA) is a programme 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 prioritise their health strengthening interventions based on evidence. Based on the findings and recommendations from HIS assessment, HADDA will focus on digitalisation of HMIS tools of selected health facilities and strengthening a stewardship and governance capacity of the Ministries of Health in managing the digitalised health information system.

The HADDA programme will:

  • Develop Health Information Management system in selected maternal and child health facilities in Banaadir, Galmudug and Puntland to improve data quality for decision making at national, regional and local level 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 capacity for Somalia to digitalise 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 programme areas and regions
  • Strengthen cross-sector collaboration for Somalia’s health strategy and service delivery for improved public health.
