Final rounds of testing are happening today (for Malawi and Reports) and we are planning to roll out version 3.6 tomorrow!

Final rounds of testing are just finishing and planning on rolling out 3.6 release tomorrow or Thursday!

Next Sprint will be for 3.7; the team make up will be different moving forward; mostly SolDevelo with some support from VillageReach. Obviously velocity is expected to reduce

Potential for future webinars in multiple languages. We are looking for community members that are willing to help lead this (Portuguese, French).

Dércio Duvane is willing to help with this! SIGLUS meeting next Friday, could discuss this at the time or plan for something in the future. Thanks Dercio!

Would a Portuguese-Language Slack channel be helpful for the Angola/Mozambique team? Yes! We created one: portuguese_moz_ang. This will be disseminated to others by Dercio and the rest of the Moz team

If others have channels that they want created on Slack or Discourse for country or language specific dialogue, just let the steward team know

Provide the MoH with context for how a digitized supply chain can benefit them. There were a number of training and capacity building activities to that end

SIGLOFA is the name in Angola- Sistema Informatica de Gestao de Logistica Farmaceutica de Angola

Rollout of the initial pilot in March - Hospitals in Luwanda, another pilot in April, testing and training May-June, June-July UAT (last pilot), National launch in August (many trainings throughout the country)

Provided responsibilities within the MoH within a technical working group-foster ownership and sustainability. Lead of the group is the IT Lead with the MoH

Refined requirements and got more user feedback in 2 learning sessions, 3 days each. That included the launch of the validation instance

Established a lot of SOPs for supply chain at various levels, and an M&E plan - from scratch! Need to create an SOP that works with OLMIS as well as the fallback paper-based system.

Goals of the pilot: evaluate the system, provide training to users, install hardware, re-assess sites for readiness, re-assess inventory

Implementation Challenges:

• Most sites have reliable(ish) power. The power still goes out 4-5 times a week for less than a couple of hours. They are currently not targeting the cold chain.
• There were some issues completing the inventory process (meds were not the same as what was listed on National Med List).
• SOPs needed updating to improve how they do reporting
  • Differences in how stock is counted between sites
• Area for improvement: MoH use of GS1 standards
• Reinforce messages from the SOPs in the roll out training since the SOPs are new, they are still not well adhered to

Technical Challenges:

• Still working on version 3.5 due to the scheduling of 3.6 release
• Large amount of work to get the OpenLMIS Reports set up and configured
• Translation work has taken longer than expected
  • Built-in OpenLMIS Translations worked fine, implementation-specific changes were problematic
