Across Africa, health systems generate more data today than ever before, yet the gap between collecting data and using it to drive real decisions remains one of the most persistent challenges in public health. Dashboards are built, indicators are tracked, and reports are filed, but how often does that data actually change a policy, redirect resources, or improve a service at the point of care?
Makerere University School of Public Health (MakSPH), in partnership with The Global Fund, is pleased to invite you to the next session of our Webinar & Community of Practice series:
“Stakeholder Engagement for Enhanced Health Data Use: Moving Beyond Data and Dashboards to Decisions, Policy and Action”
This session brings together a distinguished panel of public health leaders, data specialists, and policymakers from Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria to examine what it truly takes to move routine health data from the screen to the system, into policy, planning, supervision, resource allocation, and frontline service delivery.
Whether you are a programme manager working with data quality, a policymaker shaping the next health sector plan, or a practitioner seeking to strengthen evidence-based decision-making, this session is designed with you in mind.
