Description
Ifeoluwa Adebola Noiki and co-authors study a digital stock system for vaccines in Nigeria in this 2026 paper. The system, called OpenLMIS, was launched in 2021 for COVID-19 vaccines, and a routine vaccine part was added across the country in 2023. The team asked what helped and what blocked its use.
They read program papers, spoke with 42 key staff, and watched work at sites in three states and the capital area. The system now runs in all 835 cold stores in the country. Strong backing from the national agency and partner funding helped. Barriers included high staff turnover, thin training, weak power and internet, and unpaid data costs falling on users.
