Introduction

These projects have 3 overarching aims. First is to identify strengths and weaknesses in TIBA’s capacity to manage data (information) as a contribution towards improving national health systems. The second aim is to help build data science and e-health capacity across our partnerships. TIBA’s focus is ultimately to improve the health of African populations. The third aim is to strengthen partner capacity in regard of the 4^th Industrial revolution requirements where automation as well as generation and analysis of big data will become very significant. The projects are as a result of the lessons learned through the analysis of the Rapid Impact projects. Each project is supported with a £20,000 funding and would be completed by February 2021.

Key outcomes from these projects include

1. developing an eHealth platform for data capturing and monitoring of NTDs;
2. exploration of large-scale e-health datasets generated by TIBA partners;
3. storage and management of malaria data;
4. eHealth Surveillance System;
5. acquiring high capacity servers for data storage and analysis;
6. digitalise archived and previously collected data to support decision making.
