How do you bring DHIS2 data into a WASH information system?
Use the Integrator: create an access token in DHIS2, describe in plain language what you want to pull, and it builds and schedules the integration. The DHIS2 data then sits alongside your WASH data instead of in a separate reporting silo.
Health ministries already run DHIS2, and WASH programmes are frequently told to report into it or to reconcile with it. Doing that by hand means someone exporting spreadsheets every quarter, which is exactly the step that stops when funding or staff change. An automated connection lets health facility data and water and sanitation data be analysed together, which is the point at which a WASH MIS starts answering ministry questions rather than project questions.
How to do it
In DHIS2, create a personal access token for the account that may read the data you need.
In the Integrator, start a new integration and give it the DHIS2 URL and that token.
Describe what to pull: which data elements, data sets or organisation units, and for what period.
Map DHIS2 organisation units to your sites or administrative regions so records land in the right place.
Preview the pulled rows and check a few against DHIS2 before scheduling anything.
Set the integration to run on a schedule so the data keeps arriving, and build your dashboards on the imported table.
