National logistics working groups (NLWGs) are crucial for equitable vaccine access. This study analyzed NLWG status in 43 countries, identifying needs for technical assistance to strengthen these vital immunization support systems.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Global Health Security

Background:

  • National logistics working groups (NLWGs) play a key role in ensuring equitable access to vaccines under the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI).
  • Understanding the current landscape of NLWGs is essential for optimizing vaccine supply chains.
  • International organizations like UNICEF and WHO rely on effective national structures for vaccine distribution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a landscape analysis of national logistics working groups (NLWGs) for immunization programs.
  • To provide insights to UNICEF, WHO, and national EPI programs on NLWG mechanisms and status.
  • To identify technical assistance needs for strengthening NLWGs globally.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey design combining qualitative and quantitative approaches was employed.

  • Data collection involved desk reviews, consultations, interviews, and distance questioning across 43 countries.
  • Established references and guidance were used to define and analyze NLWG mechanisms.

    • Main Results:

    • The study offers a comprehensive overview of the current status of NLWGs in diverse countries.
    • Key insights into the operational mechanisms and effectiveness of NLWGs were gathered.
    • Identified specific technical assistance requirements for establishing and reinforcing NLWGs.

    Conclusions:

    • National logistics working groups are integral to successful immunization programs.
    • Targeted technical assistance is necessary to build and enhance NLWG capacity in many countries.
    • Collaboration between immunization partners is crucial for supporting national EPI efforts through strengthened NLWGs.
