A Case in Kenya: Unlocking bottlenecks in public health supply chains through data dashboards and enhanced governance structures

Abstract: The link between data and governance are key to making public health supply chains more integrated and responsive in order to get life-saving commodities to those in need. In particular, considering its significant health challenges, poor maternal and child health indicators, and major recent devolution in political authority, Kenya represents a country in need of an innovative revamp of their data management and governance. John Snow, Inc. (JSI) adapted various elements of proven interventions to build a customized structure to support routine data collection in order to drive decision making around supply chain improvement.
