Background
APHIA plus Western Kenya project-5 year USAID funded
Implements its program strategies in Western and
Nyanza Regions of Kenya
Emphasizes are on Health Systems Strengthening as a
key pillar to sustainable quality health care services.
It strengthens the current service delivery capacities at
county, sub-county, facility and community levels with
efforts to build foundations for strong health
management capabilities.
Regular use of data for informed Decision making in
collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH)has seen
improvement of the various key health indicators.
Background
• The MOH supports regular monthly reporting
of the services provided in facilities by use of
provided reporting tools.
• Routinely Health Care workers and Facility
HRIOs aggregate the report summaries from
registers to the summary reporting tools.
• Sub county HRIOs and Facility HRIOs upload
the data into the HMIS run DHIS2 reporting
system.
Methodology
• Data is routinely collected using the registers and summary tools and
aggregated by Health Records Information Officers (HRIOS) at the
facility.
• HRIOs are supported monthly with airtime for communication and data
bundles to upload into the DHIS2.
• This data is then pulled and aggregated in the project’s Comprehensive
Information Management System, (CIMS).
• From the CIMS aggregated and analysed data, highlighting of
discrepancies and any outlying indicators is done.
• Aggregated data is transferred to Tableau before disseminating the
results in graphical, tabular and geospatial format on the prevalence,
spread or occurrence of various diseases verses the set targets.
• The tableau visualizer can present data in manipulated formats up to
the lowest unit of service delivery as community unit or facility level.
• Data in this format can be presented and disseminated and /displayed
as well up to the highest level; national or regional.

Results 1
• Use of data from the government health
reporting systems and tools has contributed to
improvements in key health indicators.
• Increased use and integration of the MoH and
Partners reporting systems has improved data
quality and use for both the players.
• Data use has built the capacity of community-
level structures to respond to the needs of
people as well as strengthening the linkages
between health facilities and communities.
Results 2
• Regular data use and dissemination facilitates
access to health care.
• Regular update and ‘talking’ data has
enhanced health service quality by building
the capacity of health care workers and
improving infrastructure of health facilities.
Conclusion/Recommendations
• Partner’s expertise need to support the
improvement and data use methodologies
from the DHIS2 reporting system.
• Data presentation and use, should be shared
with the counties and sub counties when
developing the annual work plans and
strategic plans.
• Regular data use for decision making is key
for ensuring sustained and efficient health
systems management.
