EPHI’s Data Management Opens Public Health Policy Modelling Hackathon in Addis Ababa
The Ethiopian Public Health Institute’s (EPHI) National Data Management and Analytics Center for Health (NDMC) has opened the NDMC Public Health Policy Modelling Hackathon 2026 in Addis Ababa. The six-day event, running from July 1–6, 2026, is being held under the theme “Bridging Modelling and Policy to Solve Public Health Challenges.”

Director General of EPHI, Dr Mesay Hailu, in his opening speech described the hackathon as the first initiative of its kind at the institute and said it marks an important step toward strengthening evidence-informed decision-making in public health. He said modelling should move beyond technical analysis and be used to support programme planning, resource allocation, service delivery and policy decisions. With public-health decisions often made amid limited resources, incomplete information and competing priorities, Dr. Mesay said modelling and data analytics can help clarify choices, compare options and anticipate risks. The central question, he noted, should not be “What model can we build?” but “Which programme or policy decision do we want to support with evidence?” The hackathon, he added, offers a practical platform to connect data with evidence, evidence with decision-making, and decision-making with public-health action.

Dr. Tigist Shumet Director of NDMC on her behalf said that NDMC’s mandate includes data management, analytics and modelling to inform health programmes and policy decisions. She noted that the hackathon is part of EPHI’s broader effort to strengthen national capacity in public-health modelling and evidence use through a Gates Foundation-supported project.

The opening day featured a hackathon overview by Mulugeta Geremew, Head of the Data Analytics, Modelling and Visualization Division, who outlined the objectives, workflow, expected outputs, judging process, and challenge topics, highlighting the key public-health problems that participating teams are expected to address. Dr. Mesfin, a Data Scientist at NDMC, also oriented participants on collaboration norms, team formation, and the challenge areas. Professor Gashaw, Senior Implementation Research Advisor at Project HOPE, presented the Pathways for Ethiopia: understanding multidimensional vulnerabilities to reproductive, maternal, newborn, child health, and nutrition outcomes.

The competition focuses on four challenge areas: district-level zero-dose burden, antimalarial medicine forecasting and allocation, measles alert rules, and measles transmission modelling. Sessions will continue until 6 July 2026, with teams developing prototypes or dashboards that will be presented to programme leads, judges and partner representatives on the final day.
