Interventions along the "Push" axes
Capacity needs for the logistics of health programs and the EPI
TBI’s interventions will target ministry and health program leaders and managers to easily mobilize their support for HCSC management improvement efforts through:
a) A better consideration of the objectives, strategies and roadmaps adopted by the EPI and other health programs for the next 10 years;
b) Outreach of the AI2030 agenda and other global/regional health initiatives;
c) Sufficient and correct information on modern standards (levers, approaches, tools) of health logistics in the countries;
d) The requirement for managers and implementers to demonstrate appropriate attitudes and behaviors to ensure proper management of health logistics.
These interventions will enable decision-makers and managers of health ministries and programs to better understand the capacity needs of health logistics and thus support their strengthening.
