The End-to-End Supply Chain Management Academy with DHIS2 and mSupply has officially concluded after five days of intensive learning, collaboration, and hands-on practice in Kigali.
This academy, jointly organised by the University of Oslo, mSupply, and HISP Rwanda, brought together 33 participants from 12 countries, including representatives from Ministries of Health and private organizations—all united by a shared commitment to strengthening health supply chains through improved logistics data visibility.
A Strong Start: Building Foundations for End-to-End Visibility
The academy opened with a clear purpose: to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to use DHIS2 at the last mile, integrated with mSupply as the upstream eLMIS, ensuring seamless visibility of logistics data across all levels of the health system.
Participants began the week by exploring the fundamentals of end-to-end supply chain management, understanding data flows, and working through practical exercises that demonstrated how DHIS2 and mSupply work together to support decision-making and reduce stockouts.
Five Days of Learning, Practice, and Collaboration
Throughout the week, the academy offered a blend of theory, practical sessions, group exercises, and cross-country experience sharing. Facilitators guided participants through real-life use cases, system configurations, interoperability concepts, and troubleshooting scenarios.
The collaborative spirit among countries enriched discussions, enabling participants to learn from one another’s challenges and best practices.
Successful Conclusion and Recognition
The academy officially concluded on Friday 14th November 2025 in a vibrant closing ceremony officiated by Venuste Nsanzumuhire, CEO of HISP Rwanda, who commended participants for their engagement, teamwork, and commitment to strengthening supply chain data systems.
He emphasized the importance of reliable logistics data for informed decision-making and acknowledged the partners—University of Oslo, mSupply, and HISP Rwanda—for their continued collaboration in advancing digital health innovations.
Participants received certificates recognizing their successful completion of the first physical edition of this academy.
Looking Ahead
This inaugural in-person edition marked an important milestone in the global effort to enhance supply chain visibility using DHIS2 and mSupply. The insights gained, networks formed, and skills developed throughout the week are expected to support stronger, more efficient health supply chains across participating countries.
A heartfelt thank you to all partners, facilitators, and participants for making this academy a success. The knowledge shared and relationships built will continue to drive improvements in logistics data use and contribute to resilient health systems worldwide.
