The document discusses a project to strengthen regional development planning in Oromia Region, Ethiopia by developing an information system. The system aims to facilitate decision making in planning by organizing data flows, visualizing data on maps, and generating reports. It will collect and organize data from various government sources and implement indexes and indicators. The project is working closely with regional and local governments to define protocols. A pilot will test the system in selected districts before broader rollout. Training will be provided on using the new information system and related technologies.
