The product of this collaboration is a system of budgeting, data visualization, and reporting that is known as the District Health Planning and Reporting Tool (DiHPART).


 This study was conducted to evaluate the design and implementation processes (technical, procedures, feedback, maintenance, and monitoring) of the DiHPART tool in northern Ghana.


 This paper reports on a qualitative appraisal of user reactions to the DiHPART system and implications of pilot experience for national scale-up.  A total of 20 health officials responsible for financial planning operations were drawn from the national, regional, and district levels of the health system and interviewed in open-ended discussions about their reactions to DiHPART and suggestions for systems development.


 Changes in the national system of financial reporting and budgeting complicate DiHPART utilization.
