2025 Prize Competition Winner & Finalists
About the Competition
Challenges in managing supply chains to deliver health outcomes in global health contexts abound, particularly when factors beyond the control of supply chain managers such as infrastructure, port clearance delays, weather, governance issues, location of clinics, human resource capabilities, etc. all impact success. Despite such challenges, we see stories of remarkable success in improving health delivery and outcomes that leverage partnerships between organizations, and in cooperation with governments, NGOs and donors, deploying innovative and appropriate technology and human resource practices. Each year, we seek to recognize such organizations by celebrating & sharing practices that have delivered documented success.
Up to four projects typically are invited to present their work at the Summit. The organization with a winning submission is recognized with a monetary prize. The review panel is comprised of experts with experience in global health contexts but are not involved in any of the projects themselves.
This year’s judges were:
- Hany Abdullah, Gates Foundation
- Diana Mutoni, RMS
- Dr. Ebrahim Adamjee, Axmed
- Gilbert Hiteshi, SBTF
