ZHI has robust Strategic Information and Evaluation (SIE) systems for each of its projects, and currently these are Accelerated, and Comprehensive HIV Care for Epidemic Control (ACCE) and DREAMS Reignite, Innovate, Sustain and Empower (RISE). Each of these systems are structured to allow data collection, capture in respective databases and access by program and SIE staff at community, health facility, district, provincial and national levels. The main databases are District Health Information Software (DHIS 2), with ACCE and DREAMS-RISE having separate instances. The DREAMS-RISE DHIS manages beneficiary-level data, and the ACCE DHIS manages largely aggregate data; DHIS 2 tracker is also used by ACCE for longitudinal tracking of sub-groups of clients including treatment defaulters and clients referred for treatment initiation.
ZHI is a key institution that generates, manages, and shares knowledge in health and development work, and facilitates access to and use of that knowledge by other stakeholders. ZHI has robust knowledge infrastructure and operational framework for knowledge management, and has processes in place that promote collaboration with key stakeholders via in-person and virtual mechanisms in user-friendly ways. ZHI has mechanisms in place that enables it to extract, analyze, learn, and share lessons from projects and programs it implements, ultimately influencing development and review of health and development policies. ZHI believes that: a) Without knowledge, we can’t produce evidence of impact, b) Being knowledge driven assists the organization to comply with both donor and ZHI mandates; and by demonstrating impact, the organization can develop models for use in influencing government policies and community practices, c) Greater focus and having a concrete knowledge management strategy fosters individual and professional growth among ZHI staff and its stakeholders, and d) Having a knowledge management focus assists staff to remain accountable to the communities our programs serve
