    From the SHA Provider Portal to HMIS: The Bigger Lesson Is About Institutional Infrastructure

    Kenya's shift from the SHA Provider Portal to a broader HMIS environment is being read as an application migration but the real story is architectural. This piece examines what the eClaims and Core FHIR implementation guides reveal about interoperability, provenance, and institutional memory, and argues that replacing an interface is a much smaller problem than building the coherence underneath it.

    The Harder Problem Is Not Building AI Infrastructure

    Africa's digital transformation is often measured in data centres, fibre, and compute but the harder challenge is institutional, not technical: turning information institutions already hold into governed, accountable decisions. This paper argues that the next generation of African infrastructure must be decision capability itself provenance-aware, sovereignty-respecting, and built for fragmented institutional reality rather than imported enterprise assumptions.
