Hello All,

This is my first time to use the DHIS2 Tracker and would
appreciate your kind support to help me move quickly.
I have read chapter 24 of the DHIS2 manual and things are still not very clear yet in my head.

I want to use DHIS2 version 2.11 to track certain health
workers. These health workers live in different countries and provide health
services in the country in which they live. My project provides capacity
building to the health workers from time to time depending on when a need for capacity
building is identified (the periodicity of the capacity building events therefore,
does not follow predefined regular intervals such as we may have in for e.g.
ANC visits or immunization programs).

The capacity building activities are: CapBuild_1, CapBuild_2,
CapBuild_3, CapBuild_4, CapBuild_5, etc.

Now, for each health worker, I want to be able to track (i.e.
a list showing):
All the capacity building activities received by the health
worker and each capacity building activity showing when (i.e. the date) the
capacity building activity took place, what capacity building was given (i.e. whether CapBuild_1,
CapBuild_2, CapBuild_3, etc.), where (i.e. country and town) the capacity
building took place and whether that capacity building was first time or a
repeat for the health worker.

Please I will need help with the following:

1.     1. What category options (option set) would be
appropriate for me to create in this scenario?
 
2.      2. What data elements would I need to create to be
able to capture the capacity building activity data?
 
3.      3. Apart from biodata information (e.g. name, age,
sex, ID number) of each health worker, what additional demographic information
should I create as attributes for the health worker?
 
4.      4. I have decided to set up the program as “Multiple
events with registration”. Is this appropriate for my scenario? What would be
an appropriate “Description of incident date”?
 
5.      5. What are the possible “Different Stages” that would
be most appropriate that I should create for my scenario?
 
6.      6. When creating the Different Stages of the Program,
what would be most appropriate for the following:
 
a.       Name:
b.      Schedule days from start:
c.       Auto-generate event
d.      Description of report date
 
7.   7. Please what should I do next after creating the
different stages?

Thanking you in advance for your time in helping me with this
very long list of questions.

Best regards,
John
