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.
