JSI Deliver is collaborating with Supply Chain Management systems to develop pre-service training for health commodities and to develop a central logistics data repository leveraging technical expertise and resources across projects to further both PF and GHI goals. Partnering with MSD on infrastructure development and ERP projects with funding contributions from both PEPFAR and Global Fund, has provided an opportunity to strengthen collaboration and increase funding efficiencies while giving MSD the opportunity for leadership and ownership in project development and system strengthening. JSI Deliver Performance Management Plan (PMP) for monitoring and evaluation focuses on continuous improvement of product availability; strengthening of logistics data collection and analysis capability within the MOHSW; improved capacity of MSD to manage and deliver health commodities; improved data availability to support central level decision making; and strengthening of commodity management capacity at health facilities. This funding will be specifically used to fund the Electronic Logistics Management Information System (e-LMIS). e-LMIS is the second phase of the Medical Stores Department (MSD) Enterprise Resource Program (ERP) development and implementation which USAID supported through JSI SCMS and JSI Deliver. This project directly relates to PF Goal 4 to support the URT in "strengthening a functional, prioritized, transparent, and timely logistics and supplies procurement system", as well as to GHI goal IR2 for improved health systems.

Funding for Health Systems Strengthening (OHSS): $2,450,000

JSI Deliver TO #4 will use COP 2012 funding toward the Electronic Logistics Management Information System (e-LMIS). e-LMIS is the second phase of the Enterprise Resource Program (ERP) development and implementation of the Medical Stores Department (MSD), which USAID supported through JSI SCMS and JSI Deliver.The e-LMIS is an electronic ordering and management system which is designed to replace the existing paper ordering system. Health facilities will be able to process their commodities orders through the electronic system linkd to the MSD ERP system through a web based connection. The transition to the electronic system will increase ordering efficiencies by reducing mistakes from manual addition and transcription errors at various stages in the ordering process. e-LMIS will also diminsh ordering lead times by allowing for electronic transfer of orders through the internet instead of physical transmissions through the post. This project intentionally focuses on all commodities within the supply system to create efficiencies within the supply chain ordering and distribution system, resulting in spill-over effects and benefits for the entire health system.
