- Open AccessDrivers and Barriers to Improved Data Quality and Data-Use Practices: An Interpretative Qualitative Study in Addis Ababa, EthiopiaHibret Tilahun, Biruk Abate, Hiwot Belay, Abebaw Gebeyehu, Mohammed Ahmed, Akiliu Simanesew, Wondimu Ayele, Afrah Mohammedsanni, Barbara Knittel and Yakob WondaradGlobal Health: Science and Practice September 2022, 10(Supplement 1):e2100689; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00689
The Ethiopia government’s implementation of strategies to improve data quality, as outlined in its Information Revolution Roadmap, has led to higher data quality and improved data use, but barriers to optimal data-use practices must be addressed to create a culture of information use.
- Open AccessLessons Learned From the Capacity-Building and Mentorship Program to Improve Health Information Systems in 11 Districts of EthiopiaHiwot Belay, Afrah Mohammedsanni, Abebaw Gebeyehu, Hibret Alemu, Naod Wendrad, Biruk Abate, Wubshet Denboba, Frehiwot Mulugeta, Shemsedin Omer and Barbara KnittelGlobal Health: Science and Practice September 2022, 10(Supplement 1):e2100690; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00690
Health information systems strengthening interventions, such as the capacity-building and mentorship program used, leverages the expertise of stakeholders from multiple disciplines and can help improve data quality and information use at health facilities.

- Open AccessLearning Health Systems to Bridge the Evidence-Policy-Practice Gap in Primary Health Care: Lessons From the African Health InitiativeColin Baynes, Lola Adedokun, John Koku Awoonor-Williams and Lisa R. HirschhornGlobal Health: Science and Practice September 2022, 10(Supplement 1):e2200390; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-22-00390
The compilation of lessons in this supplement on the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation’s African Health Initiative’s work in the application of implementation research in primary health care in sub-Saharan Africa reflects the evolution of the discipline that is now increasingly recognized as integral to health systems strengthening.

Timely and relevant information is vital to help identify and track areas of improvement after extreme weather events and during emergencies to prioritize limited resources. Routine data can provide useful evidence of health system performance during and after natural disasters, contributing to an effective and efficient response.

- Open AccessPrimary Health Care Management Effectiveness as a Driver of Family Planning Service Readiness: A Cross-Sectional Analysis in Central MozambiqueStephen Pope, Orvalho Augusto, Quinhas Fernandes, Sarah Gimbel, Isaías Ramiro, Dorlim Uetela, Stélio Tembe, Meredith Kimball, Mélia Manaca, C. Leigh Anderson, Sérgio Chicumbe and Kenneth SherrGlobal Health: Science and Practice September 2022, 10(Supplement 1):e2100706; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00706
We found higher levels of management effectiveness in primary health care facilities to be independently associated with an increased likelihood of improved family planning service readiness in central Mozambique. Strengthening management capabilities and reinforcing management roles at the primary health care level may improve health system readiness and provision of quality family planning services.
