Sumario:Health programs are reliant on complex decision-making to efficiently utilize limited resources, but local-level data use is still challenging. This study aimed to assess barriers to fostering local-level data use culture at each level of a health system. Results show that awareness gaps, lack of motivation, inconsistent supervision, poor community engagement, and lack of accountability are major bottlenecks. Establishing an accountability system and capacity building on health data use could improve its implementation.
