The potential to co-design interoperability between the capabilities of two systems, DHIS2’s national health management system and MOSIP’s open source modular identity technology, will be investigated in a six-month project funded by Norad – The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation. Using these digital public goods together based on standards aligning could help countries link up their national health data and identity systems.
DHIS2 and MOSIP are both leading digital public goods, which form the critical components of their national information system architecture. They provide the public sector with identity data management across health verticals and to deliver public service programs.
MOSIP offers countries modular and open-source technology to build and own their national identity systems. Exploring an open-source integration, the research will be harnessed from the University of Oslo in collaboration with the International Institute for Information Technology on this investigation.
Community review will compare the architectural design and map the data models to assess the viable technical integration which can be drafted for interface specifications and prototyping the solution.
If the interoperability challenge shows promising results, the second phase of the project would work towards a production-ready solution that could be made available for global use.
