What is the ILS?
• The Integrated Logistics System is a system for
managing various categories of products, which used
to be managed vertically, using a single set of
procedures.
• The ILS is an indent system where dispensaries,
health centers and hospitals order quantities of each
product according to their needs and within their
budget.
• The ILS captures the best elements of previously
vertical systems, most notably the Indent and
Contraceptive systems used for ordering drugs.

Current ILS and FP Commodity Challenges
• Widespread stockouts of RH commodities
• Irregular ordering
• Unavailability of facility-level data to decision-makers
at higher levels
• Inability of district-level decision-makers to easily
organize stock status data
Additional Need to Ensure Commodity Security
• A National Family Planning Costed Implementation Plan
(CIP) was launched in March 2010 outlining the next 5
year strategy to increase commodity security (CS).
• The goal of the CIP is to increase CYP to over 5 million,
increase the national contraceptive prevalence rate to
over 60% and reduce infant and maternal mortality by
2015.
• The MOHSW and the USAID | DELIVER Project are
seeking to provide increased data visibility for family
planning commodities in addition to other CS activities
they coordinate with the Family Planning working group
(FPWG).
What is the ILSGateway?
• The ILSGateway is a mobile health logistics reporting
system that is designed to strengthen the ILS. The
system will help expand the accessibility to and
visibility of logistics data. This in turn will help to
improve the supply chain decision making for all
essential health commodities in the ILS.
ILSGateway Objectives
1. Provide real-time stock status information on
reproductive health commodities.
2. Improving the timeliness and accuracy of paperbased ordering and reporting from the SDPs.
3. Improve the accuracy and timeliness of deliveries to
SDPs by confirming delivery arrival in real-time.
4. Allow decision-makers at all levels to monitor the
regularity and spread of facility-level supervision by
managers at district and other levels.
5. Prevent widespread emergency ordering that has
resulted from other reporting systems by aiding
districts and facilities in regular and routine ordering.

Additional ILSGateway Features
• will serve as an overall ILS strengthening tool
used to monitor the functionality of the entire system.
• is an open source system built on a platform that
the MOHSW will never be asked to lease or
purchase.
• is a sustainable way to strengthen the system as it is
both non proprietary and relatively cheap to operate.
• will empower regional and district level staff by
giving them an increased role and responsibility in
monitoring and supervising the system.
• is flexible in that it can be easily adapted system
changes as the needed.
ILSGateway Partners
Summary
• The ILSGateway will introduce a series of innovative
additions to complement the existing ILS
• This system will focus on strengthening the entire ILS,
making it more efficient and effective in a sustainable
manner.
• The deployment and pilot of the ILSGateway will focus
on reproductive health commodities, with a goal of
expanding to additional pharmaceutical products.
