This practical and interactive training focuses on helping professionals deploy and manage digital systems that improve field data collection, information management, reporting efficiency, and operational effectiveness. The course explores installation procedures, platform configuration techniques, electronic form development processes, data synchronization approaches, system administration practices, and reporting mechanisms. Participants will gain practical skills for configuring digital platforms, managing information workflows, improving system performance, and supporting evidence-driven operations.

Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how installation, use, and management of OPENHDS and ODK is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for backup and recovery procedures., interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
