Background

In October 2014, John Snow Inc. (JSI) through the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT successfully deployed OpenLMIS (developed in partnership with VillageReach) in Zanzibar as a pilot under the local name eLMIS. By February 2015, the system went live in all districts, and the sensitization training for all management teams was completed in June 2015.

How it
Works

Currently the system is running successfully in all facilities in Chakechake District. Orders and shipments of health commodities are integrated between eLMIS and mSupply, the warehouse management system at the Central Medical Store.
