On February 20, 2014, Zambia officially launched its new electronic Logistics Management Information  System (eLMIS), a revolutionary and cost-effective system that ensures greater commodity security and better health outcomes for the people of Zambia and Tanzania. The eLMIS will enable a transition from a paper-based system of  data management to an electronic format which will foster better, faster, and  more accurate reporting of supply chain data, reduce stockouts of health  commodities, and ultimately provide better access to medicines to improve  health outcomes. 
 
The system was pioneered  by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health in Zambia, in partnership with the Tanzanian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Supply Chain Management System (SCMS), and the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT.
