The document discusses Routine Health Information Systems (RHIS) and the RHINO network. It notes that RHIS in most developing countries are inadequate for generating useful health information. RHINO was created in 2001 to advocate for improved RHIS design, use of health information for decision making, and capacity building. RHINO activities include networking, research, workshops, and knowledge sharing. The document raises concerns about RHINO's dependence on USAID funding and outlines plans to establish RHINO as an independent organization through diversified funding and partnerships.
