BroadImpact was engaged as the local country research partner, working collaboratively with a consortium led by Health Enabled. The primary objective of this evaluation is to thoroughly assess the OpenLMIS ecosystem and comprehensively understand the key factors that significantly influence its effective use in improving immunization outcomes within Nigeria. The findings from this evaluation are also critical for informing Gavi’s Digital Health Initiative (DHI) strategy, particularly in establishing robust digital supply chain information systems. These systems aim to provide timely data visibility, facilitate data triangulation, and support real-time data utilization at service delivery points and national/subnational levels for efficient planning and monitoring of immunization campaigns.

FHI360 subcontracted BI Zambia, under a contract by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to compile essential evidence on interventions that effectively promote more equitable access to childhood immunization services in low- and middle-income countries. The BI Zambia team, actively supported the meticulous gathering of evidence and crucial stakeholder consultations. This work culminated in a detailed Zambia case study focusing on real-world, pro-equity interventions designed to effectively reach zero-dose (ZD) children and underserved communities with vaccination services, clearly highlighting best practices and lessons learned. The Zambia case study specifically emphasized the innovative use of GIS mapping as a tool to successfully reach zero-dose children and missed communities. See the case study here.
BI conduced a large-scale training for 300 Expanded Program on Immunization managers on project management, and project communication in 2 states in Nigeria. This project involved the development of a training strategy, plan and training schedule, the implementation of a training approach and training schedule and a facilitator coordination plan, the facilitation of practical based competency trainings to 300 managers in 2 states, the administration and scoring of training assessments, capture of basic participant’s information and the development of training reports.
