Funds contributed to the establishment of a SMS-based platform to improve vaccination coverage in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Specifically, this project, led by the Ministry of Health, supported the DRC Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) Rapid Short Message Service (SMS). The system was designed for real time monitoring of immunization stocks and appropriate timely re-stocking and to support an effective ownership of the government EPI staff at all levels (national, provincial, district, and health zone) of the monitoring system.
