Background

VillageReach, in partnership with PATH, supported the Ministry of Health and its partners to develop a vision and roadmap for computerized logistics management information systems (LMIS) in Zambia. As a first step, VillageReach helped to facilitate a series of workshops with the ministry, Medical Stores Limited (MSL), and the partners who support the ministry in supply chain strengthening to develop a shared vision and a comprehensive set of user requirements for a future computerized LMIS.

How it
Works

Once the Zambia requirements and roadmap were developed and endorsed by the ministry and its partners, VillageReach continued to support the process by assisting the ministry and its partners to move forward on the development and implementation of the LMIS.
