Tanzania:CSSC Implementation

The Christian Social Services Commission (CSSC), is an umbrella group for FBOs in Tanzania. It has implemented iHRIS Manage in its central office to manage health-care workers. It plans to de-centralize the data to zonal offices, and use the central office for data aggregation, reporting and planning.
