Building success through collaboration
The OpenLMIS initiative, of which Vitalliance is the new steward, is supported by over 20 implementation and technology partners, and has received financial support from several major donors. Our partners provide valuable input into shaping OpenLMIS technical priorities, as well as serving as thought partners to support the ongoing growth and expansion of OpenLMIS as an open-source community. These organizations have helped shape the OpenLMIS product and community, and continue to lend their technical expertise, leadership, and generous support as OpenLMIS expands.
OpenLMIS relies on a strong network of ‘Trusted Partner’ organizations to support Ministries of Health and other stakeholders to implement OpenLMIS from both a technical and project management perspective. Trusted Partner organizations are experts in OpenLMIS, global health, supply chain and technology. These organizations regularly contribute time, ideas, and technical expertise to support the OpenLMIS community. A detailed profile of each of our Trusted Partner organizations is available here.
