Implementing organisations and funders are encouraged to consider and take up openIMIS as a tool for their implementations in social (health) protection. In this session examples of the uptake by Enabel, the Belgian development agency, its Wehubit programme, and their technical implementer PharmAccess, are presented to provide insight in the modalities and benefits from their perspective.
The presentations were complemented by an overview of the openIMIS Coordination Desk on support it can offer and advantages of engaging with the community, beyond a single implementation.
The session aimed to:
Create a better understanding on how to become a supporter of openIMIS implementations, modalities and link to it.
Create awareness of the support offers by the Coordination Desk and benefits to engage in the community.
Encourage organisations to take up openIMIS for implementation in their social (health) protection schemes or promote it towards their partners in the countries.
