CHALLENGES Lack of funds for cold chain equipment. The December 2013 crisis caused many damage to the cold chain system (looted, vandalized). Shortage of qualified staff at all level. Lack of infrastructures in the country leading to high cost of program implementation. Poor maintenance of equipment installed. The last comprehensive cold chain inventory was carried out in Proposal submitted in 2016 were approved by donor but no fund received yet. Poor infrastructure resulting into expensive logistics for delivery of vaccines and supplies.
