State Logistics Data Analyst at The Health Strategy and Delivery Foundation (HSDF)

About the MNH-ASSIST Project

• The Maternal and Newborn Health Accelerated Scale-Up of Sustainable Supply Chain Interventions and Systems Transformation (MNH-ASSIST) project aims to improve the uninterrupted availability, beneficiary access, utilization, tracking, and reporting of MNH bundle commodities across supported health facilities. This will be achieved through multi-stakeholder collaborations that cut across various MDAs including the SMoH, SPHCDAs, DMA/CMS and health facilities, and partners like FIELD Intelligence, C4SD, ACEPHAP, TA Connect, SCIDaR, and CHAI among others. The project seeks to sustainably achieve the following: effective MNH commodities last-mile delivery (LMD) to facilities, improved states capacity to plan, finance, and execute LMD, digitalize states LMIS and enable real-time visibility for logistics data, consumption-driven MNH bundle commodities forecasting/quantification, and strengthened DRF programs to ensure continuous replenishment of MNH commodities.
• Additionally, the project aims to facilitate affordable access to these bundled MNH services for beneficiaries by leveraging existing government and donor-driven financing mechanisms that protect women and their families from financial risks; these include national and states health insurance schemes, free/subsidized MNCH services integrated into BHCPF 2.0 and HOPE-PHC project, and states free MNCH programs where available.
