From Guidelines to Action: How Countries Are Using WHO’s Digital Adaptation Kit (DAK) to Strengthen Immunisation Systems

Governments across the globe are grappling with fragmented health data, particularly immunisation data, driven by the lack of interoperable and often outdated health systems. Recognizing this global challenge – the World Health Organization (WHO)—released in January 2025 the Immunisation Digital Adaptation Kit (DAK) and Smart Guidelines—which offers to EPI leaders scalable, standards-based guidance on how to adapt your immunisation systems quickly and easily.

Countries and leading implementing partners have been road testing this valuable tool over the past year– and shared in this Linked Immunisation Action Network two-part webinar series, how this five-layer framework covering everything from policy setting to advanced analytics can help countries align and update their Electronic Immunisation Registries (EIRs) faster, more affordably, and more easily.
