New opportunities and projects

Ashraf Islam (Unlicensed) still proceeding, no contract yet - should happen.

Lakshmi Balachandran Mozambique approved ESMS/OpenLMIS nationally 100 facilities

Kyle Duarte (Unlicensed) indicated they are still awaiting news on Malawi's response on the budget/work plan submitted

Open Question to the Product Committee:

Kevin Cussen (Deactivated) Does anyone know about Global Fund's requirements around ARV tracking?

"Installing and using RxSolution in 11 hospitals and health centers in Swaziland met the Global Fund’s requirements for a reliable ARV tracking system. These facilities use the system to produce regular stock, patient, and prescribing reports for national level managers. As a result of the successful installation and use of RxSolution, the Global Fund has authorized funds for Swaziland to purchase ARVs"

Link to the technical brief funded by USAID/SIAPS

No one was aware of the requirements.

Risk Discussion:

• New risk identified by Lakshmi: Countries do not migrate to 3.0.
  • Lakshmi Balachandran: Do we think this a risk?
  • Kevin Cussen (Deactivated): don't think we can make a blanket statements. need to make it clear what the benefits are for 3.0 and moving over.
  • Danni Yu (Unlicensed): interested in knowing how we can upgrade. takes a lot of coordination.
  • Lakshmi Balachandran: if countries are on 2.0
  • Ashraf Islam (Unlicensed): implementors provided the support directly, and perhaps would reach out to the community
  • Lakshmi Balachandran: do we expect future support needs on 2.0
  • Danni Yu (Unlicensed): didn't bring it to the community because there wasn't a process in place
  • Mary Jo Kochendorfer (Deactivated) we will continue exploring what we think the expectations will be around support for 2.0/1.0 from the broader community. We do need to make it clear what the advantages are to migrating and clarify what the process is around support.
  
  
• Risk #7. OpenLMIS community stays dependent on centralized funding from 1-2 primary sources and fails to diversify and encompass open source development principles
  • Kevin Cussen (Deactivated): mitigation strategy. OpenMRS, DHIS2, etc. Scaling the team back to 1/2 person and scaling up the volunteer community. Will bring a consultant to do an assessment to provide suggestions.
