DHIS2 Technology Partners program overview: Purpose, vision & structure

DHIS2 is the world’s largest digital public good for health and education data, supporting more than 80 countries. Yet no single platform can meet all needs alone. By collaborating with the developers and stewards of other Digital Public Goods (DPGs) and complementary platforms—such as OpenCRVS, OpenIMIS, MOSIP, OpenMRS, mSupply, OpenFn, ArcGIS, Simprints, and others—we can:

Identify complementarity between technologies and DHIS2.
Deliver comprehensive, end-to-end solutions for governments and partners.
Expand reach to new adopters, sectors, and regions.
Build interoperable ecosystems that strengthen resilience, efficiency, and innovation.
Establish an API Stakeholder forum
Link technology partners to the DHIS2 implementation community including the HISP network.

To support this collaboration in a structured way, we have established a formal partnership model for Technology Partners to connect with DHIS2. This model is structured in three tiers, ranging from open collaboration to deeper strategic co-investment.
