Deadline: 20-Dec-21
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is currently implementing a project entitled “Joint Study ADP and World Bank on Economic Analysis of the Use of Technology in Health Sector” requires the services of all interested eligible civil society/non-governmental organization/academia to perform the work.
SMILE (Sistem Monitoring Imunisasi dan Logistik Secara Elektronik) or known as the Logistics Management Information System for Immunization is an application and software that was initially a pilot program from Electronic Vaccines Intelligence Network (eVIN), an initiative that was adopted in India.
SMILE is developed by UNDP Indonesia and has contributed significantly to the data flow within the ‘One Data’ system. It is a cloud-based digital solution that strengthens the immunization supply chain system, by providing a customized end-to-end tracking of vaccine inventory, from the central storage point to the ‘last mile’ at the primary community health center level.
Objectives
Regarding to this research activity, here are all the objectives as detailed below:
- Assess the efficiency of SMILE in areas of vaccines logistics and management;
- Assess the health impact of SMILE regarding improved program coverage (Childhood Vaccination Program Coverage and COVID-19) and reduced Vaccine Preventable Illness;
- Conduct an economic assessment (Return on Investment) of SMILE on immunization programme as well as for the health systems as a result of disease averted due to improvements in vaccine delivery;
- Propose the recommendations to Ministry of Health to refine the SMILE business model and scale-up based on research finding;
- Provide key lessons that could help other countries in making similar policy decisions about implementing similar vaccine management and logistics systems.
Scope of Work
- Rapid review of literature, which includes:
- Challenges and gaps of the immunization programme in Indonesia
- The use of SMILE for vaccine distribution
- Methodologies for economic assessment of SMILE or other non-digital vaccine distribution system
- Develop and analytical framework, quantitative and qualitative data collection tools and methodologies, and sampling approach that includes SMILE and non-SMILE districts in 11 provinces
- Test the data collection tools, refine the tools and conduct data collection
- Conduct data analysis, develop report and support the dissemination of the findings
- Provide recommendations on promoting the effectiveness and sustainability of SMILE
