In 2020, together with the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) and with funding from The Global Fund, Shifo began a collaboration to modernise the Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) in Haiti. So far, we have successfully introduced and implemented new paper-based LMIS tools in 3 departments, in  a total of 195 Health Service Delivery Points that cover the ‘Malaria, TB, Vaccination, Nutrition, Family Planning, Essential Medicines, HIV/ARV’ programs.

The goal of the project is to implement Smart Paper Technology (SPT) to ensure that accurate and timely data can be accessed, so the availability and consumption of all medicines and supplies (along with other supply chain indicators) can be tracked. Supply-chain data generated through SPT will be integrated into the DHIS2 System for data to be accessible at the district and national levels. At the beginning of 2021, preparations and plans began to scale-up SPT nationally in Haiti, where Shifo partnered with The Global Fund and The World Bank to begin the scale-up of SPT to the rest of the departments of Haiti. The Phase 2 scale-up will be implemented over a two year period through to 2023, and will see SPT being used in 10 departments and a total of 755 health facilities.
