Building Capacity for Health Supply Chains though e-learning
Health care workers are the backbone of a health care system
i+academy www.iplusacademy.org, i+solutions’ e-learning platform, was set up to support clients and partners by designing and delivering cost-effective capacity building solutions. Technical assistance and knowledge transfer on the open-source Moodle platform is an important feature of our work. This includes training on facilitation, course development, platform management and customized reporting. i+ also digitizes course content and guidelines and delivers online trainings of the basics of health supply chain management in English, French and Portuguese. The learning environment is optimized for a low-bandwidth environment and its content can be accessed via mobile devices and computers.
WHO Kinshasa
i+solutions has designed several bespoke vaccination courses for WHO Kinshasa. The collaboration was renewed in 2023 by creating two new modules for health staff participating in the national vaccination program. 20.000 nurses and doctors in all provinces of the DRC have been invited to follow these self-paced courses and receive the enrolment key. They are rewarded with a certificate after successful completion.
AGAPS DRC
i+solutions can also design a bespoke learning platform for clients. In April 2023, the new AGAPS learning platform https://agaps.iplusacademy.org owned by the PNAM (National Program of Essential Medicines) of Ministry of Health DRC went live for a first promotion of students. So far … students have enrolled.
MAUL Uganda
MAUL Uganda also operates a bespoke e-learning platform https://e-learning.medical-access.org/ designed by i+solutions’ i+academy team. The team recently provided technical assistance to upgrade the e-learning platform. The learning site was given a new look and various new features were added such as an AI chatbot and two payment plugins for local mobile money providers.
Medexis
With the Medexis eLMIS going into operation in various countries, i+academy took a leading role in the creation and digitalization of the user manual, in the training of trainers, and in building the capacity of local administrators. Each country has put its own accents on the need for accompanying online trainings, with Ethiopia focusing on Quality Assurance in the health supply chain, and Burundi requesting for additional lessons on Basic Computer Skills.
