The position supports mSupply implementation and configuration, including activating and supervising ten named priority public and private pharmacies, verifies data completeness and concordance, and supports the mSupply–OpenFn–DHIS2 integration so that commodity data are visible nationally and used for forecasting, redistribution and supply planning.
