The results revealed that the HMIS is fragmented and does not support data driven decision-making. To address these shortcomings, a roadmap towards development of HMIS was agreed as follows: (1) development of essential datasets, (2) developing and implementing a computer database. The decision was to take the District Health Information Software (DHIS) developed by the Health Information System Programme (HISP) and customise it to fit the context in Zanzibar. HISP is a global project using Action research and Participatory design approaches to empower the emerging local health management structures and health workers through improved and locally based information systems in a number of developing countries. At the time of writing this paper there is essential datasets and an implemented computer database used for data storage, analysis and reporting.
