Hi,

Easiest method if you are talking about POINT co-ordinates (e.g. health
facilities):

1. Create a comma-delimited list with facility name (exactly as in the
DHIS), Latitude and Longitude. Coordinates must be ISO standard using datum
WGS-84 (the same datum used by all Global Navigation Systems like GPS, and
used by all modern maps).

2. For point co-ordinates, DHIS supports six decimals (equivalent to around
10cm precision) - that is the standard number of decimal for point data in
most systems.

3. Whether you create the comma-delimited file in Excel, a text editor etc
does not matter - use what's convenient for you. Make sure the facility
name column is called "NAME"

4. There is no need to generalise point coordinates the same way you might
do it for high-precision line or polygon (area) features, so when you are
ready with the file either convert it to GML format using the (cumbersome)
method described in the DHIS2 manual, OR import it into a GIS package like
QGIS.

5. After creating the GML file, import it. Any mis-spelled name will show
up during the import as having failed.

regards
Calle
