The paper provides an assessment of the human resources (HR) landscape for supply change management (SCM) in immunisation supply chains, which is intended to inform the GAVI Alliance Immunization Supply Chain Strategy.

This toolkit forms part of the country support package for immunization supply chain managers (iSCMs) as part of the implementation of the GAVI Alliance supply chain strategy and is designed to enable and support the embedding of effective people management practices while promoting an understanding of the importance of performance management.

This toolkit forms part of the Country support package for Immunization Supply Chain Managers (iSCMs) as part of the implementation of the GAVI Alliance supply chain strategy and is designed to support anyone involved in change, especially those leading and managing initiatives with a focus on changing organizational behaviours. Many of the supply change initiatives outlined in the GAVI supply chain strategy and in EVM and other improvement plans will result in the introduction of new systems, processes and technology. In order for these changes to be sustainable it will also require a corresponding change in ways of working, behaviours and ultimately the culture of the organization.

The human resources for supply chain management Theory of Change (HR4SCM ToC) provides a useful basis for strategic planning, by providing a foundation for developing strategies to manage the quantity, type, and capacity of human resources required to operate health supply chains. The HR4SCM TOC analyses the conditions needed to ensure that workers at every level are performing optimally, in order to fulfill all the necessary functions of an effective SC system.

This toolkit is a collection of adaptable resources for supply chain staff and supervisors that enables them to practice performance management processes and identify approaches for addressing performance management issues in their organisations.
