On February 20, 2014, Zambia officially launched its new electronic Logistics Management Information System (eLMIS), a revolutionary and cost-effective system that ensures greater commodity security and better health outcomes for the people of Zambia and Tanzania. The eLMIS will enable a transition from a paper-based system of data management to an electronic format which will foster better, faster, and more accurate reporting of supply chain data, reduce stockouts of health commodities, and ultimately provide better access to medicines to improve health outcomes.
The system was pioneered by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health in Zambia, in partnership with the Tanzanian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Supply Chain Management System (SCMS), and the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT.
