The Global Fund provides significant financial support to South Sudan for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria programmes. Global Fund grants support the procurement of medicines and diagnostics, health worker training, community health programmes, and health information system strengthening. Health informatics professionals in South Sudan play a critical role in Global Fund-supported programmes by managing the data systems used to track programme performance, report results to the Global Fund, and ensure accountability for grant funds. The Global Fund requires grantees to report on a set of key performance indicators using standardised data collection tools, many of which are integrated into DHIS2.
South Sudan health professionals involved in Global Fund-supported programmes can access programme guidelines, reporting templates, and technical resources at theglobalfund.org. SSHIA training on health data management and DHIS2 is directly relevant to the data reporting requirements of Global Fund grants.
