Background
DAI works at the cutting edge of international development, combining technical excellence, professional project management, and exceptional customer service to solve our clients’ most complex problems. Since 1970, DAI has worked in 150 developing and transition countries, providing comprehensive development solutions in areas including crisis mitigation and stability operations, democratic governance and public sector management, agriculture and agribusiness, private sector development and financial services, economics and trade, HIV/AIDS, avian influenza control, water and natural resources management, and energy and climate change.

The Haiti Strategic Health Information Systems Program (Haiti HIS) is an $11.5 million cooperative agreement funded by USAID to build the capacity of Haiti’s Ministère de la Santé Publique et de la Population (MSPP) to take ownership of a comprehensive health information system that enables the integration of health records across various digital and paper-based reporting platforms. The program will support the MSPP in drafting an effective eHealth Policy to address interoperability and set data standards; strengthening Haiti’s national health information system—the System d’Information Sanitaire Nationale Unique, or SISNU—by addressing information and technical gaps; and promoting data-driven decision making at national and departmental levels. In turn, the HIS team will help the MSPP analyze the data provided by the improved national health information system and then use this information to provide better quality care and treatment to the Haitian people.
