Pillar 6
Institutional Capacity, Digital Literacy & Change Management
People, processes and data quality — the conditions for digital systems to be used and trusted.
Our approach
Operational realism and sustainability. Technology fails without local ownership. We embed structured change management, data quality assurance routines and continuous upskilling of health workers directly into project implementation plans and results frameworks (PAD and ISR deliverables).
Workforce Upskilling
Continuous training programmes for clinical and administrative staff on digital system adoption. Software packages: Moodle LMS (SCORM / xAPI).
- Assess digital literacy needs by cadre
- Create a training-of-trainers network
- Integrate digital health into pre-service and in-service curricula
- Use certified e-learning at scale
- Create a digital health career path and a health informatics cadre
- Deliverable: Training needs assessment by cadre
- Deliverable: Curricula and training-of-trainers network
- Deliverable: Training records and completion reports
Change Management
Guiding transitions from paper-based workflows to fully digitised operations. Software packages: Survey and adoption analytics.
- Map stakeholders and resistance; appoint champions (ADKAR / Kotter)
- Communicate the vision and early wins
- Run structured readiness assessments before each rollout wave
- Plan the paper-to-digital transition and end dual reporting
- Measure adoption and embed continuous improvement
- Deliverable: Change strategy (ADKAR / Kotter) and stakeholder map
- Deliverable: Readiness assessments per rollout wave
- Deliverable: Paper-to-digital transition plan
Data Quality Assurance
Audit routines and validation checks that maintain data integrity at entry points. Software packages: DHIS2 Data Quality app, WHO DQR toolkit.
- Define validation rules and a data quality framework (completeness, timeliness, accuracy)
- Assign data stewards per programme
- Run routine data quality reviews and verification-factor audits
- Publish data quality scorecards
- Automate anomaly detection and feedback to facilities
- Deliverable: Data quality framework and validation rules
- Deliverable: Quarterly data quality scorecards
- Deliverable: Verification-factor audit reports
