BID Initiative Tools Developer Summit Report
Dec 31, 2013
In December 2013, the Better Immunization Data (BID) Initiative hosted a Tools Developer Summit at the PATH office in Washington, DC. This meeting brought information and communication technology (ICT) developers together with the BID Initiative team, partners, and donors to explore the challenges in immunization systems in Africa. The participants focused on how ICT could be used to address three key challenges: beneficiary interfacing, patient identification, and supply chain management. Over the course of two days, participants shared their expertise and ideas, and discussed opportunities for ongoing collaboration in order to solve these problems.
