This is the third post on data for management (D4M) in the context of the GAVI Alliance 2020 supply chain strategy. D4M refers to the collection, analysis and use of data to measure and improve immunization (supply chain) performance. At this point, we would like to request your help and collaboration to further refine the strategy.
Key principles are that the strategy should:
1. Be holistic in its approach to data for management: investments in technology and systems will not yield the desired results if no attention is paid to the people aspect.
2. Be tool agnostic: we are not in a position at this time to select any tool or technology and push for the implementation of that in GAVI countries.
3. Put well-informed and knowledgeable country decision makers in the driver’s seat. They will prioritize interventions based on a better understanding of their needs as well as about the options that are available to them.
A small working group has developed an initial framework, as described in the attached PowerPoint presentation. In short, we see a GAVI Alliance role in these areas:
Guidance, standards and recommendations for in-country information systems
- Define data standards and guidance on processes and data use.
- Develop guidance on how to select and implement better and more sustainable information systems.
Development and availability of technology, systems, and approaches for the collection and use of data
- Identify methods to share and disseminate experiences with data for management (incl. product catalogue, repository or similar)
- Help partners evaluate and document impact of ongoing interventions
Invest in the development of promising ideas and approaches
Global & National Leadership development
- Establish a group to advocate, oversee and adjust strategy implementation
- Use existing discussion forums (Technet-21 etc.) to enhance country expertise
- Develop methods, materials and training curricula to improve the capacity of national leaders and workforce to analyze, interpret and use data
Technical assistance to support countries to evaluate needs, and select and implement sustainable solutions
- Support countries to plan, design, implement and sustain information systems
- Develop modules on data and information system assessment and improvement that can be used independently by countries or as part of EVM, PIE, EPI review etc.
Specific questions we would like to ask you are:
1. Is this the right approach or would you like to suggest changes?
2. What does the GAVI Alliance need to do to make this happen? I.e. what are the concrete interventions that need to take place and who should be responsible for them? What is it going to cost?
3. What is your organization’s role in this work and what would you expect from GAVI coordinating and funding mechanisms?
4. What mechanism is needed to ensure that investment decisions are transparent, fair and objective (insofar not driven by countries, for example desire to invest in the development of a new technology or training curriculum)?
Thanks in advance for your ideas about any of these points!
