  • Pilot phase – March through May 2019
  • National scale up – begin in August 2019
• System deployment:
  • To be used in provincial warehouses and hospitals (not at the health facility level)

Project Objectives:

• Routine data collection will inform the evaluation of OpenLMIS Angola’s first year of implementation. The evaluation will be centered around some key project objectives:

  • Establish an LMIS that supports Angolan health commodity SOPs

  • Ensure the implementation provides the necessary technical and end user support to increase uptake and maintained use of SIGLOFA
  • Follow a user-centered approach during the configuration and implementation of SIGLOFA to create positive user experiences
  • Increase the availability of health commodity supply chain data to improve stock management processes at the provincial and national-level health facilities

Getting Started

Preparatory activities are currently under way to support the national-level rollout of SIGLOFA. Partner organizations are working closely together to provincial warehouses are properly equipped, trained, and ready to integrate SIGLOFA into their daily processes such as LMIS data collection, recording, and reporting & analytics.
