Background:
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.
CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. At CHAI, the strategy is based on maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments drive solutions, programs are designed to scale nationally, and lessons are shared.

As part of the Gavi 5.0 strategy (2021-2025) and the supply chain modernization process for the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), Mali has adopted the e-LMIS (electronic Logistics Management Information System) / Medexis solution to improve the visibility, planning, management and traceability of vaccines and cold chain equipment.
The training, functional test and pilot deployment phases of this e-LMIS / Medexis solution have already been completed in the Ségou and Sikasso regions. To support the expected roll-out of the tool at all levels, and to ensure close monitoring of the system, it is necessary to reinforce regional logistics capacities with dedicated regional logistics officers.
