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 eLMIS project was made possible with contributions from Zambia Ministry of Health, Tanzania Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Medical Stores Limited (MSL), Churches Health Association of Zambia (CHAZ), USAID, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, The World Bank, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, PATH, Village Reach, UN Commission on Life-Saving Commodities, and UNICEF.
