Hi Sam,

yes it should be possible to set this up in DHIS 2.

In your case, if you create all 4 as categories you might end up with a
very high number of option combo permutations.

However, it might be that you have fixed relationships within those
categories. For example, it could be that one grant is supported by exactly
one implementing partner and donor. In that case, you should not ask end
users to actively select partner and donor in data entry; rather have them
select the grant only (as a data set category). From there, you can set up
category option groups and group sets:

Group set: Donor
Groups: USAID, DFID, etc

Group set: Implementing partner
Groups: PartnerA, PartnerB, etc

Then you assign each grant to exactly one group per group set. You can now
do analytics based on the above dimensions without having end users
explicitly selecting them in data entry. This will keep number of category
option combos low and reduce time and errors during data entry. Make sure
you set the category option group sets as "data dimension".

Docs here <https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/user/html/manage_category.html>.

regards,

Lars
