This topic looks at the ecosystem around the DHIS2 software, with developers working globally on both the core platform and generic and bespoke applications to support health service provision. Potential topics include
- How can agentic coding improve participatory design by moving coding closer to the uesrs? How can users take a more active role in such software development?
