During the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries experienced data backlogs in their emergency response efforts. A root cause analysis found that server configuration and performance were limiting factors for some programs' ability to effectively capture and report COVID-19 data. As a result, this toolkit has been developed to help organizations quickly assess their DHIS2 Tracker configurations and identify potential problems.

This technical toolkit builds on those findings and presents guidance to resolve identified information and communication technology challenges by users with the use of the DHIS2 and DHIS2 Tracker. The tools provided, designed in consultation with users for actionable results, are designed to help countries quickly address identified challenges, respond to the current pandemic, and scale DHIS2 Tracker implementations into the future so that they do not repeat similar challenges experienced during the pandemic response.
