Strengthening and modernizing Uganda's sustainable public health systems and workforce in data science, informatics, and surveillance to produce timely, accurate, and integrated data for action

The Centers for Disease Control and Human Services is seeking a partner to support the Ministry of Health in Uganda's digital transformation to modernize health data systems and infrastructure. This initiative focuses on enhancing epidemic intelligence for HIV and related health programs by developing a comprehensive data architecture that includes electronic medical records, disease surveillance, laboratory data, and pharmacy management systems. The goal is to create a sustainable and resilient digital ecosystem through improved data warehousing, integration, and interoperability to ensure a successful transition to local governance. The project anticipates an approximate total funding amount of 30,000,000 dollars for the first year, subject to the availability of funds. Key objectives include strengthening the public health workforce in data science, informatics, and surveillance to produce accurate and integrated data for critical decision-making. This effort encompasses a wide range of data collection activities, from general surveys and community data to human resource management and development.
