Forecasting goes beyond quantifying demand. It enables health programmes to anticipate needs, allocate resources effectively, and respond to change with greater confidence. Working alongside the Ministry of Health (MOH) and PMO-RALG in Tanzania, inSupply Health, through the @JSIhealth-led Supply Chain Technical Support Mechanism (SCTSM) project provided technical support to review and update multi-year forecasts for Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) commodities through 2029. The exercise resulted in finalized commodity projections for Lymphatic Filariasis, Onchocerciasis, and Soil-Transmitted Helminths, informed by the latest survey data, programme priorities, and funding outlooks. Combining strong forecasting systems with effective Mass Drug Administration (MDA) coverage helps reduce stock shortages, prevent medicine expiries, and support more equitable distribution of commodities. Digital forecasting tools and routine inventory visibility continue to strengthen data-driven decision-making and improve NTD commodity security. #DataUse #HealthSupplyChains #GlobalHealth #EndNTDs #UniteActEliminate @WHOAFRO AFRO - @wizara_afyatz @gatesfoundation

Health commodity availability challenges are interconnected, spanning quantification, financing, procurement, and overall supply chain performance. Today, inSupply Health, alongside @HlthSysInsight and @CIPSHPA, convened a supply chain partners joint quarterly physical Meeting to review implementation progress and discuss priority actions for strengthening forecasting, financing, procurement, and commodity availability across counties. Discussions focused on key system-level challenges affecting commodity availability, including evidence-based budget allocation and prioritisation, strengthening local finance mechanisms, debt management, procurement bottlenecks, budget execution gaps, and fragmented data review processes. A key takeaway from the meeting was the importance of more integrated approaches that connect forecasting, financing, procurement, and data use to strengthen health systems and improve commodity security across counties. The meeting brings together partners implementing different interventions across public sector health supply chains in collaboration with @MOH_Kenya, Kenya and support from the @gatesfoundation. #HealthSupplyChains #Quantification #Procurement #Financing #DataUse #GlobalHealth

Efficient use of procurement funds is key to ensuring that health facilities are able to consistently provide essential medicines to the communities they serve. Through implementation of the IMPACT Teams approach, facilities are able to identify inefficiencies, make data-driven decisions, and optimize resource allocation. Tanga City Hospital provides an example of this transformation. Monitoring activities showed that through the IMPACT intervention, the hospital has managed to reduce expenditures on health commodities from Tshs.24 million to Tshs.17 million. This demonstrates how strategic management and performance monitoring can improve operational efficiency while ensuring the consistent availability of essential medicines for patients. #IMPACTT #DataUse #HealthSupplyChains #Tanzania #Tanga @wizara_afyatz @gatesfoundation

lightning only reduces dataload by 250x? 1000x? Still very far off global requirements and effective mostly bc non custodial nor p2p. This is why I use a variety of different L1's as my L2 to btc. Each community who can maintain a blockchain adds it datause to the btc standard.

Effective resource management is crucial for a health system to function optimally. Aligning commodity orders with actual demand, IMPACT Teams help facilities allocate resources where they are most needed, reduce unnecessary spending, and improve financial accountability. This ensures that limited funds are used efficiently, supporting both patient care and the long-term sustainability of the health system. As Ngamiani Health Centre shared, they have managed to reduce their debt significantly from Tshs 140 million to Tshs. 12 million. #IMPACTT #DataUse #HealthSupplyChains #Tanzania #Tanga @wizara_afyatz

The Isiolo County Health Product and Technologies Unit (HPTU), with support from inSupply Health, @HlthSysInsight, and @CIPSHPA, convened a multidisciplinary supply chain performance review meeting that brought together representatives from the County Health Management Team, Sub-County Health Management Team led by the Director of Family Health, and the Chief Officer for Health. Leveraging the IMPACTT Approach, a data-driven supply chain problem-solving technique, the team conducted a deep dive into the current bottlenecks using dashboards or platforms such as the Indicator Tracking Tool, 647 Dashboard, KHIS, and KEMSA FP-e-LMIS. The meeting also provided a platform for examining how the interdependence of forecasting, financing, and procurement affects the availability of MNCH and other essential commodities. This provided the basis to co-develop strategies on evidence-based resource allocation, strategic prioritization through the Strategic Resource Management Tool(SMArT), procurement of Health Products and Technologies, as well as strengthening local finance mechanisms to further bridge the funding gap between forecasted needs and available budget. #IMPACTT #DataUse #HealthSupplyChains #GlobalHealth @isioloCounty011

📌 Day 110 How to Find Hidden Gem Tokens 💎 💎 Everyone wants to find the next 100x coin. But most people have no idea where to even start looking. Today I'll walk you through the EXACT process From finding a token to deciding if it's actually worth your money 👇 This is part of an ongoing series where I share real world crypto scenarios to help you navigate the market better. Crypto is high risk. This is not financial advice. Never invest more than you can afford to lose 💎 STEP 1: WHERE DO HIDDEN GEMS HIDE? 🔍 Most beginners only check $Binance or $Coinbase. That's too late. By then, the early gains are already gone. $Binance and $CoinGecko run deep verification checks on every token before listing , that's why not every token makes it, and why the real gems are found before they ever get there 💎 Here's where gems are found BEFORE they go mainstream: 🔸 DEXScreener → See new tokens launching in real time and you can filter it by time volume and age. 🔸 CoinGecko New Listings → Tokens just getting listed . 🔸 CoinMarketCap New Cryptos → Similar to CoinGecko but different listings. 🔸 Crypto X → Watch what narratives are trending. STEP 2: WHAT IS A NARRATIVE? 🌊 A narrative = the STORY the market is believing right now. When a narrative is hot, everything in that sector pumps. When it dies, everything dumps. Recent narrative examples: 🔹AI Crypto 🤖 🔹Real World Assets (RWA) 🏦 🔹DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) 📡 🔹Memecoins on Solana 🐸 🔹Layer 2 scaling solutions ⚡ How to spot a rising narrative: Multiple projects in the same sector pumping together. Big accounts on X talking about the same theme. Mainstream news starting to cover it. 💡 Rule: Find the narrative FIRST, then find the best token in it.Not the other way around. STEP 3: HOW TO RESEARCH A TOKEN 📊 Found a token that looks interesting? Don't ape in yet. Run through this checklist first 👇 A) Check the Basics ✅ What problem does it solve? ✅ Is there a real website? ✅ Is the whitepaper real or copy-pasted? ✅ When was it launched? B) Check the Team ✅ Are the founders doxxed ? ✅ Do they have LinkedIn / GitHub profiles? ✅ Previous projects — did they deliver or rug? ✅ Anonymous team = higher risk ❗️❗️ C) Check On-Chain DataUse ✅ How many holders? ✅ Is liquidity locked? ✅ Top 10 wallets - do they hold 50% ? 🚩 ✅ Any suspicious whale movements? D) Check Tokenomics ✅ Total supply - is it 1 quadrillion? ✅ How much goes to team vs public? ✅ Is there a vesting schedule for team tokens? ✅ Inflation rate - new tokens keep dumping price? E) Check Community ✅ Telegram: Are real people talking or just bots? ✅ Twitter followers vs engagement ratio ✅ Is the team responsive to questions? ✅ How long has the community existed? STEP 4: GREEN FLAGS vs RED FLAGS 🚦 🟢GREEN FLAGS ✅ → Doxxed team with verifiable history → Liquidity locked for 6–12 months → Growing organic community → Active GitHub (for utility tokens) → Partnerships with real companies → Token unlocks are gradual, not sudden → Clear use case within a hot narrative 🔴RED FLAGS 🚩 → Anonymous team with no history → Liquidity not locked or very short lock → Promises of guaranteed returns → Top 10 wallets hold 80% of supply → Copied whitepaper → Fake Telegram with only bot activity → No real product - only roadmap promises → Sudden huge price spike with no news Finding the gem is only half the job. Knowing WHEN to sell is what separates winners from losers. Do your own research. Never invest what you can't afford to lose. This guide won't make you rich overnight. But it will stop you from making the mistakes I made. 📌 Save this post ,you'll need it. ♻️ Repost to help a fellow beginner avoid the traps. Follow for daily crypto education 👊 This is a new series, and I’ll share more details with you soon. #Crypto #HiddenGems #CryptoEducation #Altcoins #DYOR #Web3 #CryptoTwitter #Day110

Strengthening health supply chains starts with better data and better tools to act on it. The quantification tool, co-created by inSupply Health and the @MOH_Kenya Department of Health Products and Technologies (DHPT), is helping counties across Kenya move from manual, fragmented forecasting to more accurate, data-driven planning. Implemented in Nairobi, Nakuru, Isiolo, Kakamega, and Trans Nzoia, and now scaled to Turkana, Baringo, and Kwale in collaboration with @VillageReach, the tool is improving forecasting accuracy, reducing stockouts, and enabling the evidence-based resource allocation of health products across facilities.

Last week, inSupply Health supported the scale-up training on Tanzania’s MEIMIS system for Cold Chain Equipment (CCE) a key step in strengthening immunization systems nationwide as part of a Rapid Response & Repair Initiative led by Nexleaf Analytics. The digital system aims to improve the management of CCE through real-time inventory tracking and maintenance monitoring. Training sessions began in the Dar es Salaam and Lindi regions, involving immunization officers and biomedical engineers at regional, district, and facility levels. During the first week alone, we covered six regions: Dar es Salaam, Pwani, Morogoro, Lindi, Mtwara, and Ruvuma. In total, 158 facilities trained 2,085 participants from various sub-national levels, marking significant progress toward strengthening cold chain systems. This initiative will continue to roll out across all regions of mainland Tanzania, supporting stronger immunization systems nationwide. #ColdChain #Immunization #DataUse

At the heart of strengthening primary healthcare is ensuring that services are not only available but also accessible, responsive, and aligned to community needs and how well they enable choice. Over the past few days, we have supported facility in-reaches in Nairobi focused on expanding access to family planning services, particularly DMPA-SC self-injection (SI). These efforts are part of a broader commitment to empower clients with convenient, client-centred options. While overall service uptake has improved, the data highlights that self-injection remains low, with most visits being provider-administered revisits. These insights demonstrate that data guides learning, informs adaptation, and drives greater impact. The progress across facilities is encouraging, but it also presents an opportunity to move beyond coverage toward meaningful, sustained use that effectively translates access into informed choice. Grateful to the facility teams, FP nurses, and sub-county teams for their continued dedication. The journey towards client empowerment and expanded choice continues. #ReproductiveHealth #FamilyPlanning #SelfInjection #DataUse

AFENET, in collaboration with the Uganda Ministry of Health – UNEPI, is piloting an Online Learning Curriculum on Immunization Data Triangulation from 12–13 March 2026 in Namanve, Uganda. The curriculum is designed to strengthen the capacity of district immunization and Vaccine-Preventable Disease (VPD) surveillance managers to analyze and triangulate multiple data sources to improve immunization programme planning, strengthen decision-making, and support the prevention of polio, measles, and other VPD outbreaks. Through practical e-learning modules, discussions, and feedback sessions, participants are enhancing their ability to use data to identify under-immunized populations, detect programme gaps, and strengthen immunization performance at national and subnational levels. The Uganda workshop is part of a global pilot to test and refine the curriculum before wider rollout. Findings from the pilot will inform improvements to the course ahead of its broader implementation. The initiative is supported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). #AFENET #Immunization #PublicHealth #DataForDecisionMaking #VPD #Uganda #AFENET #Immunization #PublicHealth #DataUse #VPD #Uganda

The Division of Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child and Adolescent Health (DRMNCAH) in Kenya conducted its National Forecasting Exercise for priority Maternal Newborn Health commodities last week to review requirements for the FY 2025/26 period and forecast needs for the next three years. The exercise was supported by inSupply Health in collaboration with Health Procurement Africa, Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc., and Lwala Community Alliance. This three-year outlook is critical for informed resource allocation, financial planning, and strategic procurement to ensure the consistent availability of MNH commodities and prevent future stockouts. The engagement convened key stakeholders from DRMNCAH, the Division of Health Products and Technologies (DHPT), Kenya Medical Supplies Authority, and county representatives from Isiolo, Nairobi, Kakamega, Nakuru, Makueni, and Trans Nzoia, alongside supply chain implementing partners, to align national and county priorities. Effective forecasting is the foundation of a resilient health system. By refining priority commodity needs and strengthening coordination across partners, we move closer to ensuring that Every Woman and Every Newborn, Everywhere (ENEWE) has timely access to essential, life-saving products. This approach is central to reducing preventable maternal and newborn mortality. @MOH_Kenya @gatesfoundation @PJMFdn @CHAI_health @LwalaCommunity @CIPSHPA @MoH_DRMH #HealthSupplyChains #DataUse #Foreacasting
