In this Q&A following country presentations on health information systems, participants raised questions around four cross-cutting themes: reaching out-of-school girls, tracking HIV-positive adolescents requiring three HPV doses, managing data collection in low-connectivity rural areas, and the timeline and resources involved in transitioning from paper-based to digital systems. Cameroon’s representative described how opposition from Catholic churches […]

Health Information Systems and Data for Action: Tanzania
In Tanzania, health information systems underpin the planning and monitoring of HPV vaccination across a country of over 67 million people and more than 12,000 health facilities. At the facility level, paper-based tools remain in use, while from the district upward, the Vaccine Information Management System (VIMS) consolidates routine immunization reporting, vaccine stock data, and […]
Health Information Systems and Data for Action: Rwanda
In Rwanda, HPV vaccination data management has undergone a comprehensive transition from paper-based registers to integrated digital systems. Prior to 2022, health workers manually aggregated vaccination counts at month-end and reported them to HMIS, a process prone to human error, delays, and data fragmentation. Since 2020, the e-Tracker/DHIS2 system records individual client immunization data, enabling […]
Health Information Systems and Data for Action: Cameroon
In Cameroon, DHIS2 centralizes health data from approximately 6,000 health facilities, with monthly reporting cascading from facility to district, regional, and national levels. The presentation identifies five key gaps in the HPV health information system: limited integration of school registers into microplanning, absence of age-cohort disaggregation for catch-up targets, delayed and incomplete facility reporting, lack […]
Plenary session on Monitoring and Evaluation
The session addressed monitoring and evaluation of HPV vaccination programs, focusing on integrating reporting into existing health information systems. Panelists from Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand shared experiences with data tools (e.g., DHIS2, cloud-based dashboards, mobile apps) and highlighted challenges in achieving accurate age-disaggregated coverage, tracking multi‑age cohort campaigns, and ensuring data flow from […]
Suivi et évaluation au niveau national, y compris les outils de compte-rendu, la supervision et l’évaluation de l’impact : expérience du Mauritanie
Le programme de vaccination contre le HPV en Mauritanie a été introduit dans un contexte difficile, marqué par des pénuries de vaccins et la pandémie de COVID-19. Malgré ces contraintes, le pays a atteint près de 70 % de couverture pour la première dose lors des campagnes initiales et a mis en place des systèmes […]
Suivi et évaluation au niveau national, y compris les outils de compte-rendu, la supervision et l’évaluation de l’impact: Séance questions-réponses
La session a souligné que l’efficacité des programmes repose sur la qualité des données, la Côte d’Ivoire utilisant des registres dédiés et un suivi intégré pour la vaccination HPV. Les principaux défis concernent les pénuries de vaccins limitant le rattrapage des filles plus âgées et la collecte de données pour les populations immunodéprimées, au-delà du […]
Suivi et évaluation au niveau national, y compris les outils de compte-rendu, la supervision et l’évaluation de l’impact : expérience de la Cote d’Ivoire
La Côte d’Ivoire a intégré la vaccination contre le HPV dans son programme de vaccination de routine en novembre 2019, en renforçant les systèmes de données pour garantir son efficacité. Le suivi s’appuie sur des registres spécifiques, des rapports mensuels via le DHIS2 et une supervision intégrée à tous les niveaux du système de santé. […]
Country level monitoring and evaluation, including reporting tools, supervision and impact evaluation: Q&A Session
The session highlighted that program effectiveness depends on high-quality data, with Côte d’Ivoire’s HPV vaccination strategy using dedicated registries and integrated monitoring. Key challenges include vaccine shortages impacting catch-up for older girls and data collection for immunocompromised populations, especially beyond HIV. Discussions emphasized harmonizing indicators for schooled and unschooled girls, ensuring non-stigmatizing tracking of extra […]
Country level monitoring and evaluation, including reporting tools, supervision and impact evaluation: Cote d’Ivoire experience
Côte d’Ivoire introduced HPV vaccination into its routine immunization in November 2019, focusing on strong data systems to ensure program effectiveness. Monitoring relies on dedicated HPV registries, monthly reporting through DHIS2, and integrated supervision across health system levels. Despite progress, coverage remains below targets, affected by vaccine shortages and data gaps for unschooled girls and […]
