ABSTRACT
Countries in the WHO African Regionhave well-established national immunization programmes and disease control programmes working towards the different goals for the control of vaccine-preventable diseases; and generating coverage and surveillance data. WHO provides technical support to standardize the approaches; methodology; and tools used for data management. The datasets are shared with WHO for purposes of monitoring the coverage and disease trends across the Region. This article reviews the methods WHO employs to build capacity in this field of data management across the Region and the resultant achievements and gaps. Despite the recent improvements in some aspects of data quality; important policy; technical and managerial gaps remain; which need to be addressed in order to ensure that the data coming out of these national programmes are of optimal quality
