Improving Data Use in Immunization Supply Chain Management: A Six Part Webinar Series

Having good quality data, and using it well, is fundamental to the management of immunization supply chains. JSI, with Gavi support, is hosting a third webinar series to build the supply chain capacity of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) program and supply chain managers to use data. This new series kicks off with two webinars to refresh your knowledge on the data needed and the tools used to collect, report and visualize data, to ensure that the right data of the best quality are available to make immunization supply chain decisions. These webinars are followed by a mini-series, developed and presented with colleagues at VillageReach, on data triangulation – what it is, practical applications at national and subnational levels, and lessons learned with several country examples. The series ends with data use and digital technologies for cold chain management and coordinated supply planning. Come learn with us as we hear from experts and share immunization supply chain management experiences from across the globe.
