How to develop a Continuous Improvement Plan (cIP) - Supplement 4: Collaborative Workshop Techniques

As mentioned in the cIP Guidance Note, the cIP workshop is a multi-day, interactive process where relevant stakeholders can collaborate to review the situation analysis in depth, conduct a rapid assessment of root-causes, and define the five-year vision, goals, objectives, strategies and KPIs for improving immunization supply chain (iSC) performance to achieve broader immunization goals.
