What support is available?
The openIMIS Initiative does not provide direct support for country-level requirements definition or operational costs of using the openIMIS system. Your organisation will need to make the investment or find partners in further advancing the adoption of openIMIS in your system. The openIMIS Catalytic Implementation Fund provides start-up support to implementers and scheme operators interested in exploring the use of openIMIS.
The Implementation Starter Kit provides useful information, training resources, and tools to get you started with installing and deploying openIMIS in your system. It offers an overview of the requirements of the system and walks you through the learning tools that are available as your organisation takes the openIMIS path to digitalising your business processes.
A wide array of training materials and capacity building events are available for implementers of openIMIS. For more information, visit the wiki page
