This proposal is being submitted on behalf of the OpenLMIS community. OpenLMIS is an open source electronic logistics management information system (LMIS) that has been designated a Global Good by the Digital Square initiative and is supported by a community of health, technical, and financing partners working collaboratively to advance health logistics data management globally. The primary purpose of this proposal is to request support for advocacy activities for the Initiative. Expected outcomes are (i) an increase in the number of implementations of the software globally, (ii) greater engagement of end users and dialogue between different implementations of the system, (iii) an expanded number of Community members and implementers of OpenLMIS, and (iv) an increased number of resources and guidance for current and potential users of OpenLMIS.
