Development of SADC Regional TB Dashboard

Summary

The regional data repository and dashboard for TB, TB/HIV, and other occupational lung diseases was a system developed in collaboration with the SADC Secretariat and member states to monitor adherence to regional and global commitments on TB, M&E Framework. The System was designed with standardized data collection forms adaptable to SADC’s current needs, previously reported data available in Excel, and in-country data collection contexts such as disaggregation criteria. The implementation was done on the DHIS2 platform, where the data entry process uses data entry and data approval modules, and the regional dashboard uses the default DHIS2 dashboard app.

Impact & Output

The System became operational in 2022, with the successful upload of historical data from 2015 to 2021. The regional dashboard has been not only instrumental for the secretariat in monitoring TB and enabling informed decision-making but has also proven valuable for individual member states, particularly those lacking dedicated electronic TB systems. Furthermore, the incorporation of a multilingual feature enhances flexibility, allowing the System to be utilized in any of the official SADC languages (English, Portuguese, and French). The SADC TB dashboard triggered the potential for linkage with the country’s TB systems and created interest for other SADC countries to adopt the DHIS2 platform for monitoring TB and other diseases or interventions.
