Asia Pacific Gender Dispatch 2018

January 25, 2019

eVIN is being used to strengthen and streamline the immunisation supply chain. By providing real-time information on vaccine stocks and storage temperatures, eVIN helps to reduce vaccine shortages and wastage to ensure vaccine availability at all times, for all children. VALUE (Vaccine And Logistics Utilisation Evaluator) is a recently added element to this technology; it moves the effective management of vaccines even further along the supply chain to the last mile by recording the number of vaccines administered. The success of this technology thrives on its adoption and usage by the large team of cold chain handlers and healthcare workers at the last mile. By training the vaccine cold chain handlers and managers, nearly two-third of them being women, on how to use the app for efficient vaccine management, the initiative has had an indirect positive effect on gender equality.
