Event management systems (EMS) are key tools for epidemic intelligence, integrating surveillance signals and incident response, although international standards to inform development are lacking. We describe the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) SITAware, a software capable of operating with low internet bandwidth to generate notifications, reports, and spatiotemporal dashboards and provide event-level data for real-time accountability and postevent learning. SITAware was enabled by local institutional ownership, co-created at low cost, and integrated into existing workflows. In 2022, SITAware was used to manage ≈300 incidents, and NCDC implemented it subnationally. NCDC's experience may inform EMS development and implementation in similar settings.
事件管理系统（EMS）是疫情监测的关键工具，可整合监测信号与事件应对，不过目前尚缺乏指导其开发的国际标准。我们介绍了尼日利亚疾病控制与预防中心（NCDC）的SITAware软件，该软件能够在低网络带宽条件下运行，以生成通知、报告和时空仪表盘，并提供事件级数据，用于实时问责和事后总结。SITAware因地方机构自主所有得以启用，以低成本共同创建，并集成到现有工作流程中。2022年，SITAware用于管理约300起事件，NCDC已在该国部分地区实施该软件。NCDC的经验或许能为类似环境下EMS的开发与实施提供参考。
