Introduction

Today, DHIS2 is the world's largest Health Information Management System platform, in use by ministries of health in 72 low and middle-income countries. 2.3 billion people live in countries where DHIS2 is used (30% of the world's population).
The aggregate data model is the backbone of DHIS2. The applications used to view data using the aggregate model are standard applications in DHIS2, and can be used to view data of all data models. In other words, they are essential applications to be familiar with when analysing data in DHIS2.  The course will consist of training on all native DHIS2 applications used to view aggregate data, including data visualizations, pivot tables, maps, and dashboards. We will also highlight our DHIS2-to-Power BI connector for those who want more flexibility and power in their data analysis.
