The Seqota Declaration (SD) Federal Program Delivery Unit (F-PDU) at the Ministry of Health has developed two multisector data platforms (Unified Nutrition Information System for Ethiopia [UNISE] and Resource Tracking and Partnership Management [RTPM]) that aim to automate data generation and aggregation from all relevant sectors (health, agriculture, education, women and social affairs, industry, finance, transportation, water, and energy) and provide real-time data across administrative levels. In support of the F-PDU goals, DataDENT implemented a qualitative assessment to explore three main questions guided by the data value chain framework.
- How do UNISE and RTPM currently function across sectors and administrative levels?
- What are the challenges encountered in implementing UNISE and RTPM to date?
- What capacities are needed for individuals to effectively implement UNISE and RTPM and to use data for the design, implementation, and evaluation of food and nutrition activities?
Key Findings:
- Implementation of UNISE and RTPM varies across sectors and administrative areas, and respondents often lacked clarity on how the systems work.
- Implementation challenges related to the multisectoral nature of the systems contribute to poor data quality and limited data use.
- Capacity gaps across the data value chain present significant barriers to effective multisectoral nutrition data systems implementation and scale-up.
