Project Overview

Reliable data is fundamental to effective health system planning, resource allocation, and service delivery. Recognising the need for stronger health information systems in Nigeria, the Health Strategy and Delivery Foundation (HSDF), with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, implemented the Strengthening Data Systems and Performance Management project between June 2014 and February 2019.

Weak health information systems often limit governments’ ability to monitor programme performance, identify service delivery gaps, and allocate resources effectively. Inconsistent data quality and limited use of routine health information reduced the ability of health managers to make timely, evidence-informed decisions.

There was a need for stronger systems that could improve data quality, institutionalise performance monitoring, and promote accountability across the health sector.
