The purpose of this package is to set standard policies and practices to ensure fairness and equity, attract and retain a qualified and committed supply chain workforce and to clearly show the rights and responsibilities of the health supply chain workforce This standard is meant to be used as either a guideline for health supply chain organisations that do not yet have a HR policy manual or that do and wish to update and ensure that it contains best practices. Therefore, this document shall be used as a reference tool when developing, revising or updating HR policy manuals.

This report is the first of its kind to look at training evaluation within the public health supply chain. It emerged from an expressed need by the PtD Board to improve the evaluation of training and development activities with less reliance on training intervention outputs (i.e. the number of individuals trained), towards documenting the outcomes and impacts of training activities leading to improvement in health service delivery.

This white paper proposes goals, an approach, activities and a call to action that aim to engage key stakeholders in a harmonised effort to professionalise public health supply chain management, by emphasising a cultural shift in international notions of public health supply chains, institutional shifts in prioritisation of and requirements for supply chain manager positions, and individual opportunities for professional education and networking.

The landscape analysis of immunisation information system efficiency was conducted to better understand the work underway by all global stakeholders in this area. In order to meet global public health goals, including the Millennium Development Goals for improving maternal health; reducing child mortality; and combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases, efficient public health supply chains are key, thus so is the role of the person tasked with managing this supply chain, the supply chain manager or logistician.

This paper examines the current situation for healthcare supply chains in low- and/or middle-income countries (LMICs), how the public and private healthcare supply chains in these countries are organised, and how they perform using some key availability and affordability indicators. This paper is not intended to be a comprehensive analysis of how supply chain performance or medicine access can be improved; rather, it is a broad situational analysis of how these supply chains are currently organised and performing.

The paper provides an assessment of the human resources (HR) landscape for supply change management (SCM) in immunisation supply chains, which is intended to inform the GAVI Alliance Immunization Supply Chain Strategy.

This toolkit forms part of the country support package for immunization supply chain managers (iSCMs) as part of the implementation of the GAVI Alliance supply chain strategy and is designed to enable and support the embedding of effective people management practices while promoting an understanding of the importance of performance management.

This toolkit forms part of the Country support package for Immunization Supply Chain Managers (iSCMs) as part of the implementation of the GAVI Alliance supply chain strategy and is designed to support anyone involved in change, especially those leading and managing initiatives with a focus on changing organizational behaviours. Many of the supply change initiatives outlined in the GAVI supply chain strategy and in EVM and other improvement plans will result in the introduction of new systems, processes and technology. In order for these changes to be sustainable it will also require a corresponding change in ways of working, behaviours and ultimately the culture of the organization.

This 2025 edition of the TOC retains the technical rigour and practical orientation of the original framework but strengthens
it with insights gained from country implementation and new global evidence. It now integrates diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) throughout every pathway, assumption and tool in recognition that health supply chains must attract women, youth and marginalised groups if they are to appropriately reflect and serve the communities they are built to support.
