[Kayode Odusote <odusote.kayode@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I'll like to join others to congratulate the team of developers for
the continuing improvement of DHIS2 to meet desired and expected
functionalities.

Also, I share the view that one application may not be able to respond
to the needs of all countries bearing in mind the diversities in the
way health systems are structured in different countries.  Hence there
should be room for specific customizations for countries that require
these and I think these countries have the responsibility to build
local capacity for this in order to ensure sustainable.

Best wishes.

Kayode ODUSOTE
