Confidence in leadership hardly ever appears overnight its built through trust, opportunity, and the courage to contribute.

For Irene, that journey began when mentors challenged her to participate, to analyze, question, and help shape solutions. Those experiences have strengthened both her technical skills and her confidence in navigating complex health systems.

Now, Irene is already extending that same support to others, guiding interns and sharing practical knowledge with healthcare workers across different levels.

"In the complex world of supply chain, the most valuable investment is the people behind the logistics."

For Sheila, the principle is her lived experience.

Mentors championed her ideas, advocated for her in rooms she had not yet entered, which helped shape her career, and gave her the confidence to step beyond her comfort zone.

Today, she is paying it forward by sharing her story and helping others find their voice in the supply chain field.

Investment creates a multiplier effect.

Gender equity is not a women-only conversation.

In this message, Tanzania Country Director, Matiko Machagge, shares why allyship is key to stronger institutions and better health outcomes.

When leaders provide mentorship, coaching, advocacy, and structural support, women are empowered to contribute as equals, becoming multipliers of results, outcomes, and performance.

This deliberate act of giving through opportunity and support strengthens organizations, building resilience, innovation, and impact.

Allyship is action.

Progress for women is practical, daily and systemic.

As we look to mark International Women’s Day on 8th March 2026, our CEO Yasmin Chandani reflects on why matters now more than ever.

When women access essential health products without disruption, they gain time, stability, and opportunity and in return, communities move forward.

At inSupply Health, our Gender Strategy ensures the systems behind healthcare truly work for women as clients, providers, entrepreneurs, and leaders.

When women gain, we all gain.

How has someone given to you in your career, and how are you paying it forward?

For Gloria, mentorship was access to opportunity. A leader chose to invest in her potential, opening doors, expanding her exposure, and trusting her with responsibility. That intentional act of giving shaped her journey in supply chain.

Today, Gloria pays it forward by mentoring young professionals entering the field, ensuring they, too, have access to opportunity and growth, creating a ripple effect of impact.

When we give intentionally, we gain collectively.

We will be participating in the Primary Health Care Congress 2026 under the theme “Redesigning Primary Health Care: Building Resilience Amidst Global Uncertainty,” hosted at Amref International University (AMIU).

Primary healthcare facilities operate in an environment of constrained budgets, fluctuating demand, and increasing service pressure. Yet ordering decisions are often made with limited analytical support.

Join us for our oral presentation, where we will share how the Strategic Resource Management Tool (SMArT) applies AI-driven analytics to support facilities to:
▪️Prioritize high-impact health commodities within limited budgets
▪️Reduce overstocking and stockouts through smarter ordering
▪️Strengthen procurement planning using real-time data
▪️Improve accountability in commodity decision-making

We will also present implementation insights from healthcare facilities, including lessons on adoption, data quality, and integration within existing systems.

We look forward to engaging on how digital decision-support tools can strengthen supply chain performance at the frontline of care.

If you’re attending the Congress, join us in Room B01.

In Kakamega County, we trained 140 Youth Champions drawn from 12 sub-counties and attached to 140 health facilities, in partnership with county and sub-county health officials.

The focus was on strengthening contraceptive knowledge with particular emphasis on self-injection under the Delivering Innovation in Self Care (DISC) project.

Too many young people are still navigating Sexual and Reproductive Health through myths, silence, and fragmented information. Yet the demand for clarity is real, especially around contraceptive options and informed choice.

We are intentionally closing that gap by creating safe spaces for honest dialogue and equipping young people with complete, accurate information while strengthening a generation of informed peer educators.

These youth champions are now carrying that knowledge back to their schools, social circles, and communities, as trusted voices to help others move from misinformation to confidence and informed decision-making.

Strong supply chains are the backbone of effective public health programs. The team at inSupply Health, through the JSI-led Supply Chain Technical Support Mechanism for NTD medicines (SCTSM) project, recently had the privilege of facilitating a comprehensive training on the IMPACTT approach to the program officers at the Division of Vector Borne and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) program under the Kenya National Public Health Institute (KNPHI) and their key supply chain stakeholders.

IMPACTT stands for 𝗜nformation 𝗠obilized for 𝗣erformance 𝗔nalysis and 𝗖ontinuous 𝗧ransformation 𝗧eams. Equipping these teams with this framework is a critical step in building resilient, data-driven supply chains with minimal wastage rates where data is utilized as evidence to make programmatic and operational decisions. The energy and insights shared during the sessions were truly inspiring!

As we continue our ongoing supply chain systems strengthening work, the foundational skills and aligned strategies developed during this training will be instrumental in ensuring consistent access to life-saving NTD commodities to the communities that need them most.

A huge thank you to all the participants for their active participation and dedication to work as a team to build resilient NTD supply chains.

Last week (16–20 February 2026), our team joined County and Sub-County Pharmacists, facility pharmacists, and healthcare providers across all 12 sub-counties in Kakamega County for a family planning (FP) support supervision and redistribution exercise.

Using real-time commodity data, we mobilized stock from overstocked facilities to those facing low stock or stockouts, while reviewing commodity management practices, reporting processes, and facility stock status.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱

🟩Access to family planning is shaped by more than commodity availability. Low IUD uptake highlighted gaps in provider confidence, while DMPA-IM resupply challenges may influence shifts toward DMPA-SC, illustrating how supply dynamics can shape method trends.

🟩In remote facilities, self-injection remains a behaviour change journey, with clients still preferring provider-administered services despite home doses being available. At the same time, low order fill rates are forcing facilities to borrow stock, creating inventory complexities and potential data distortions.

🟩While data quality is largely strong, discrepancies in some facilities reinforced the importance of regular supportive supervision and peer learning.

In collaboration with the county, we continue to strengthen supply chains, provider capacity, trust in self-care, inventory management systems, and data use to promote access to a wide range of high-quality Family Planning commodities at the service delivery point.
