Abstract:
Health programs are reliant on complex decision-making to
efficiently utilize limited resources, but local-level data use is
still challenging. This study aimed to assess barriers to
fostering local-level data use culture at each level of a health
system. Results show that awareness gaps, lack of motivation,
inconsistent supervision, poor community engagement, and
lack of accountability are major bottlenecks. Establishing an
accountability system and capacity building on health data use
could improve its implementation.
