The successful integration of the eCHIS programme into Buikwe district's health system serves as a promising model for promoting data-driven decision-making and enhancing behavioural change.

In collaboration with the Ugandan Ministry of Health, Malaria Consortium in August 2020 introduced the Electronic Community Health Information System (eCHIS). This Ministry of Health owned tool aims to provide evidence-driven community programming that makes use of digital health solutions to improve health service delivery in Uganda. Malaria Consortium's project in Buikwe district seeks to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the eCHIS tool in improving real-time malaria data collection and treatment adherence.
