From June 2014-September 2020, ICAP at Columbia University collaborated with the Lesotho Ministry of Health (MOH) and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to strengthen strategic information (SI) activities in the Kingdom of Lesotho with funding from the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

At project initiation, ICAP supported the MOH and Lesotho SI stakeholders to conduct a national health management information system (HMIS) landscape and needs assessment.

Key findings were weak HMIS coordination; outdated HMIS policy; a mainly paper-based HMIS; and limited MOH staff capacity at all levels for data analysis, dissemination, and data use.
