Abstract: The PMI Measure Malaria (PMM) project is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). Its main objective is to support the strengthening of the routine health information system (RHIS) and malaria surveillance, monitoring, and evaluation (SME) in the 12 USAID-supported regions of Madagascar.
Building on the lessons learned from and successes of USAID's MEASURE Evaluation project in scaling up web-based health information models and approaches, the PMM project seeks to improve access to health information by strengthening the use of District Health Information Software, version 2 (DHIS2) through the integration of hospital, community, and private sector data, as well as the implementation of mobile and web-based scorecard and dashboard applications (apps) to enable health service managers and providers to access health information and make evidence-based decisions.
This brief shares more on this work, including the development of mobile apps with malaria dashboards and scorecards linked to DHIS2.
