UNDP-Indonesia in collaboration with the MoH initiated an innovative solution for better SCM with System Monitoring Imunisasi dan Logistik secara Elektronik (SMILE) project. A pilot project was initiated -with the support from UNDP- in two districts, Bogor and South Tangerang in West Java and Banten Provinces, respectively. At the core of the project is a human resources development component supported by a defined supervision plan and a rigorous training regimen. The system provides an integrated solution to address widespread inequities in vaccine coverage by supporting state governments in overcoming constraints of infrastructure, monitoring and management information systems and human resources. It helps track stock of vaccines as well as storage temperature of vaccines through SIM-enabled temperature loggers attached to the cold chain equipment.

Moving forward, UNDP has now been asked by the Government of Indonesia to expand SMILE implementation to further include 700 cold chain points in 6 additional provinces. The final intent is to expand the SMILE implementation to all cold chain in Indonesia (around 10,000 health facilities) in a phase wise rollout during 2020-2024.

Under the overall guidance of the Regional Assistant, the Provincial Assistant will support district facilitator, PHO and DHOs in optimizing data generated from SMILE application to prepare regular data reporting on utilization and projection of vaccines and other logistics. The Provincial assistant will be responsible for tracking results and apply the monitoring framework as set up in the project document, in line with prevailing internal monitoring guidelines and ensure reporting arrangements are in place and are being implemented to ensure that the reporting requirements are met in a timely manner.
