En francaisABOUT THIS TOOLKITThe Health Information Systems Project Management toolkit was created for new and mid-level project managers to support preparation, planning, design, development, implementation, and project closeout processes. Overall, this toolkit is meant to support an Agile project management approach meaning that HIS projects are planned, designed and developed in an iterative way in order to deliver a product based on the actual needs of the stakeholders and end users of the product. This template serves as a guide and should be tailored to your project and project needs. Throughout the toolkit you’ll find useful links for additional templates, guidance (“boilerplate”) language to help guide, along with checklists to help project managers think through critical elements of this stage.

In EnglishÀ PROPOS DE CETTE BOÎTE À OUTILSLa boîte à outils pour la gestion de projets de systèmes d'information sur la santé a été créée pour les gestionnaires de projets débutants et intermédiaires afin de soutenir les processus de préparation, de planification, de conception, de développement, de mise en œuvre et de clôture de projet. Globalement, cette boîte à outils est destinée à soutenir une approche de gestion de projet agile, ce qui signifie que les projets SIH sont planifiés, conçus et développés de manière itérative afin de fournir un produit basé sur les besoins réels des parties prenantes et des utilisateurs finaux du produit. Ce modèle sert de guide et doit être adapté à votre projet et à ses besoins. Tout au long de la boîte à outils, vous trouverez des liens utiles vers des modèles supplémentaires, des lignes directrices ("boilerplate") pour aider à guider, ainsi que des listes de contrôle pour aider les gestionnaires de projet à réfléchir aux éléments critiques de cette étape.

PATH’s Center for Advocacy and Policy is staffed by citizens of the countries where we work. However, as an international NGO, we recognize that there will be occasions where others are best positioned to lead local advocacy. In such instances, PATH plays a supportive or catalytic role, leveraging our technical expertise, convening power, and global networks to strengthen and complement country-led advocacy efforts. Learn more in this brief about how PATH partners with local civil society organizations to transition leadership of advocacy efforts.

The Digital Pandemic Preparedness Assessment (DPPA) Toolkit was commissioned by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to the GFA Consulting Group on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and with support from Digital Square. The tool aims to provide a systematic methodology to identify the need for digital tools that integrate with countries’ existing digital ecosystems while also modernizing their overall pandemic preparedness. The DPPA integrates and builds on data from the USAID Map and Match project and also uses the EDIT tool developed by the Kati collective to help assess the state of digital health readiness.The DPPA Tool, first published in 2021, has now been tested and refined in assessments, which were carried out in five countries (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Togo) in 2021-2022. After completing these assessments, GIZ updated the Toolkit to Version 2.0 and completed the following analyses and reports.
