Adebayo Adekola started a new discussion, New E-Course Update - National Logistics Working Group (NLWG)
Dear colleagues,
The updated e-course on National Logistics Working Group is now live on UNICEF AGORA!. Access course here:https://agora.unicef.org/course/info.php?id=12571
Several countries acknowledge the National Logistics Working Groups (NLWGs) as an effective in-country coordination mechanism for improving supply and logistics management within immunization and health programmes. The NLWG plays an active role in developing appropriate terms of reference and standard operating procedures to coordinate COVID-19 vaccines and ancillary products deployment at all levels in collaboration with partners.
This course offers opportunities to learn how to establish the NLWG and strengthen its operations at national and sub-national levels. The update covers the importance of data-driven decision making and the role of sub-national logistics working groups (SNLWG) working in tandem with the NLWG. It is useful for EPI personnel, Ministry of Health representatives, supply...

Adebayo Adekola added a new resource to the Knowledge HubHR & leadership - technical resources
>Photo credit: WHO (1), WHO (2), UNICEF (3)
Health systems can only function with health workers. Health workforce must be prioritized for universal health coverage to be achieved. The Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) describes capacity building of managers and front-line health workers as a recommended action for strong immunization and health systems. A competent and motivated workforce is a key performance driver of any immunization and health programme. Programmes and associated supply chain systems cannot function optimally without the right people equipped with the right knowledge and skills, motivated and supported by appropriate human resources policies and supervision.
The page provides links to technical resources and other useful information on human resources involved in ensuring that quality vaccines, therapeutics and ancillary products reach communities. This includes the health workers, supply workforce and support staff. Policy makers, Immunization Managers, Supply Chain Professionals, Cold Chain Officers, Immunization Professionals and Health Scholars working with government, development partners, civil society organisations, academia and private sector will find this page useful to their work and programmes. The technical resources are organised into the following sections. In addition, for guidance on how to improve human resources for immunization supply chain and cold chain management across four pathways (staffing, skills, working conditions and motivation), please refer to Effective Vaccine Management Good Practice - Human Resources & Leadership

People that Deliver coalition
peoplethatdeliver.org
People that Deliver (PtD) was established in 2011 when 79 institutions came together at the WHO and pledged their support and action to strengthen the capacity of the health supply chain workforce, while promoting the professionalization of the supply chain role within the broader health system. PtD is the global leader in human resources (HR) for supply chain management (SCM). It does this by advocating for a systematic approach to HR for SCM and for interventions that improve the demand and supply of qualified health supply chain professionals.
Global Health Workforce Alliance
who.int/hrh/network
The Global Health Workforce Network was established in 2016, following a request by select Member States and building on a proposal by the Board of the Global Health Workforce Alliance. The May 2016 adoption of the Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030 and the recommendations of the High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth are the foundation for an ambitious, forward-looking health workforce agenda to progress towards universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Frontline Health Workers Coalition is an alliance of United States-based organizations working together to urge greater and more strategic investments in frontline health workers in low- and middle-income countries as a cost-effective way to save lives and foster a healthier, safer, and more prosperous world.
Network for Education and Support in Immunization
nesi.be
The Network for Education and Support in Immunisation (NESI) was officially launched on 1 September 2002. With the development of new vaccines and increased commitment by development partners and private sector initiatives to strengthen vaccine supply and immunization services, there are more opportunities to prevent more diseases in more infants, children, adolescents and adults. This led to the establishment of NESI, which is a collaborative network focusing on capacity building for the strengthening of existing immunization systems and introduction of new vaccines, with a broad technical scope and wide geographical focus.
EAC Regional Centre of Excellence for Vaccines, Immunization and Health Supply Chain

Adebayo Adekola added a new document to the TechNet Resource Library: EFFECTIVE VACCINE MANAGEMENT GOOD PRACTICE Why is Human Resources (HR) crucial for Effective Vaccine Management (EVM)? The Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) describes capacity building of managers and front-line health workers in immunization programmes as a recommended action for strong immunization systems. Effective vaccine management is a critical component of every immunization programme which provides the platform needed to monitor and assess the vaccine supply chain (SC) system. A competent and motivated workforce is a key performance driver of any immunization programme. The immunization supply chain cannot function optimally without the right people equipped with the right knowledge and skills, motivated and supported by appropriate human resources policies and supervision. The role of health workers in immunization is further emphasized through WHO’s standard competencies for the immunization workforce, as a normative guidance for knowledge, skills and abilities required for an effective programme. HR challenges in vaccine supply and cold chain management • Staff shortages in job functions like EPI Logistics Officer, Cold Chain Technicians, Cold Store Managers, Data Officers, Quantification Officers, Distribution & Transport Officers. • Limited access to professional and management development • Poor motivation due to heavy workload, low salaries and limited career growth • Inadequate work tools and performance support to perform job roles. • High attrition rates and frequent deployment • Outdated job description which are not in line with current realities in vaccine supply and cold chain management • Weak HR data systems with no reference to supply and logistics workforce • Infrequent supportive supervision - Human Resources and Leadership(2020)Post is under moderationStream item published successfully.
