Preface
0.1 What is the IM Data Hub?
The Impact Maria (IM) Data Hub is a project monitoring system in DHIS2 used to collect, analyze, monitor and report Impact Malaria indicator data. It’s built on DHIS2 core software, and it supports HNQIS (1.4.X) compatibility.
0.2 Who should read this guide?
This guide is aimed at two main audiences:
- System Administrators who are involved in the configuration, maintenance and troubleshooting the IM Data Hub,
- IM Project teams and M&E staff involved in supporting M&E activities like data entry, reporting, data analysis and visualizations and project monitoring.
The audiences will find this guide helpful in understanding the overall system set up and how different components work together in the system.

0.4 What is not covered in this guide.
The focus of this guide is to walk you through the technical specification of the IM Data Hub. We attempt to showcase some best practices in configuring, testing, troubleshooting, reporting, monitoring, or use of data in the IM Data Hub. However, this is not a training on DHIS2 Foundamentals and you need other references to master these essential skill sets.
