Ungana-Afrika was contracted by
EngenderHealth to assist in their field research for the Health
Toolkit
project, which investigated the data-management practices and needs of
community based organisations and health care providers in Africa.
Ungana-Afrika contributed local knowledge of Southern Africa, and
assisted with research, logistics and technology assessments in four
countries in the region; they also contributed sections on country and
organisational technology assessments to the health toolkit. The
results of the field research were presented to the health information
community at the Health Informatics for Southern Africa
(HISA) conference in Kimberly in 2004. This project contributed
significantly to understanding the data management needs of HIV/AIDS
caregivers in low-resource settings.
