HealthEnabled collaborates with Gavi to optimise digital health information (DHI) for immunisation. Explore more than 20 resources, and join us in advancing global immunisation strategies.
25 January 2023
HealthEnabled works with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and Alliance partners to enhance the strategic use of digital health interventions and data for immunisation programming. HealthEnabled’s support to the three-year Gavi Digital Health Information Strategy involves engagement and partnership with a large team of international agencies, governments, academic partners, implementers and donors. The collaboration has demonstrated the powerful role that digital applications can play in improving immunisation service delivery and health outcomes when built on evidence, experience and well-established partnerships between funders, implementers, health workers and health systems managers.
This collaboration has yielded more than 20 resources and publications, including reviews of prioritised technology applications for immunisation data strengthening; ongoing operations research studies; and analysis of country experiences to inform recommendations for national and global immunisation strategies.
In the current phase of its collaboration with Gavi (2023–2025), HealthEnabled is leading the implementation of the monitoring, evaluation and learning plan for the Gavi Digital Health Information Strategy.

Case Study: Effective Use of DHIS2 and Immunisation in Ghana
Effective design, implementation, integration, and evaluation of Digital Health Systems to enhance the strategic use of data for Immunisation Programming. HealthEnabled is grateful to the Ghana Health Services (GHS) for allowing us to study and document their experience in the use of DHIS2 immunisation applications.
Timely detection of vaccine-preventable diseases for targeted vaccination and outbreak response
This Technical Brief provides a review of the state of evidence and experiences with DHI-enabled VPD surveillance, identifies gaps and makes recommendations to inform the development of Gavi’s Digital Health Information Strategy.
Gender and digital health information in immunisation programming
This Technical Brief provides a summary of the state of evidence and priority areas for investment and attention at the intersection of gender, immunisation and digital health and data that have been used to inform the development of Gavi’s Digital Health Information Strategy, which includes gender intentional strategies, outcomes, outputs, and inputs for global and country consideration and action.
This Technical Brief provides a summary of how digital health information (DHI) and related technologies can improve immunisation completion and reduce loss to follow-up to inform the development of Gavi’s Digital Health Information Strategy.
Sub-national multi-source data for immunisation programme decision-making
This Technical Brief provides a review of the state of evidence and experiences with sub-national data use for decision-making, identifies gaps and makes recommendations to inform the development of Gavi’s Digital Health Information Strategy. Drawing from literature, evidence, key informant interviews and Gavi’s DHI prioritisation exercise, the document provide recommendations as well.
COVID-19 innovations and digital applications for routine immunisation
This Technical Brief provides a summary and review of experiences with new and adapted digital solutions for COVID-19 vaccine delivery at the global, regional and country level to ensure that the lessons, challenges and successful application of digital health information innovations are captured as part of Gavi’s Digital Health Information Strategy.
This country technical brief presents three use cases of Real-Time Monitoring (RTM) approaches used in Rwanda for 1) COVID-19 surveillance 2) Vaccination Delivery and Monitoring and 3) COVID-19 case management. Good practices and lessons learned by Rwanda are also highlighted in the brief.
Using digital technologies for real-time monitoring of supplementary immunisation activities
A report from UNICEF and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance compiling the good practices and lessons learned from countries implementing real-time monitoring for immunisation campaigns.
This document aims to address: 1. Introduce real-time monitoring approaches and how RTM can strengthen vaccination campaigns and routine immunization programmes; 2. Provide guidance to decision-makers and planners on the key considerations enabling implementation of real time approaches and digital solutions in order to strengthen vaccination campaigns and routine immunization programmes, thereby enhancing immunization service delivery; 3. Elaborate on implementation aspects related to realtime monitoring technologies.
Leveraging Geospatial Technologies and Data to Strengthen Immunisation Programmes
This rapid guidance document identifies the steps and key considerations for Ministries of Health (MOH) and national Expanded Programme of Immunisation (EPI) managers and their partners when planning and developing funding applications for effective and sustainable use of geospatial data and technologies.
