Ressource	Enhanced Vaccine Management Initiative Tools and Guidelines
Objectif	Provides access to normative guidelines and tools on effective vaccine management for maintenance and improvement of vaccine management practices & supply chain systems.
Contenu	The site contains a range of tools and guidelines that include the following: Setting a standard for the vaccine supply chain, EVM background and training resources, EVM Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), EVM assessment tools and user guides, EVM global data analysis, Vaccine Management Handbook. In the EVM the vaccine supply chain strengths and bottlenecks are assessed. The assessment package enables countries to review supply chain readiness for new vaccines, identify how to expand, rehabilitate and optimize the cold chain system, improve temperature management and control to safeguard vaccines, design more efficient supply chain networks and distribution models, enhance the skills and competencies of human resources for logistics and improve overall supply chain management. Based on the 9 criteria for each level it looks at: pre-shipment and arrival procedures to check whether every shipment of vaccines manufacturer reaches the receiving store in satisfactory condition and with the correct paper work; storage within recommended temperature ranges for all vaccines and diluents; cold storage, dry storage and transport capacity to ensure it is sufficient to accommodate all vaccines and supplies needed for the programme; buildings, cold chain equipment and transport systems enable the vaccine and consumables supply chain to function effectively; maintenance of buildings, cold chain equipment and vehicles is satisfactory; stock management systems and procedures are effective; distribution between each level in the supply chain is effective; appropriate vaccine management policies are adopted and implemented; information systems and supportive management functions are satisfactory. Moreover, in the report there is a section on key recommendations that could be used to identify key points for overcoming some of the barriers that exist in the country.
Résultats attendus	Gaps in the cold chain and vaccine management system have been identified through the assessment method, and corrective actions will be taken through development of an improvement plan and recommendations for development of the supply chain system.
Utilisation	•To be used if report available at the country level. •Does not require user input. This is an assessment that would have been conducted before. It shouldn't be conducted just for the purposes of informing a criterion for decision-making (e.g. when CAPACITI decision-support tool is used), as it is resource intensive. Make note of when it was published.
Forces	The EVM assessment site contains EVM Tools, user guides, and templates for the assessment report and improvement plan. The templates are all in readily accessible excel formats with integrated or attached guidance. The assessment method generates data on supply chain performance indicators and criteria scores for individual facilities, for each level of the supply chain, and for the entire supply chain. The linking of an improvement plan to the assessment means that planning is tailored to address gaps identified in the assessment process.
Contraintes/Limitations	(a) EVM assessment require resource commitments. (b) Gaps identified in the assessment should be included in the recommendations and improvement plan. Implementation of improvement plans and recommendations are reliant on management commitment and resource mobilisation. (c) EVM assessment focuses only on supply side factors (vaccine management and supply).
Pourquoi l'utiliser	(a) The guidelines/tools can be used to improve the quality of vaccine management, assure quality and safety of vaccination, and expand access to vaccines through continuous improvement of the cold chain and supply chain systems. (b) Zero dose and under immunised: Expand access to and availability of vaccines through expansion of cold chain systems.
Qui devrait l'utiliser	The guidelines include standards, training, standard operating procedures, assessment methods and management and monitoring systems. The guidelines and tools could therefore be used at every level of the system, but particularly by immunisation managers and supply chain officers/specialists.
Exemples de critères que cette ressource pourrait traiter	Information on vaccine distribution, cold chain capacity can be extracted.
Si disponible, notes sur le processus de développement	Developed by the country. Although there are development guidelines, the quality will be context specific.
