Libya
GaneshAID delivered structured capacity building and strategic planning support for Libya's vaccine cold chain, developing a National Vaccine Handler Handbook and a costed multi-year Continuous Improvement Plan with UNICEF and NCDC.
Key Immunisation and Health System Challenges
Libya's cold chain management faced weak temperature monitoring practices, incomplete stock management, poor application of SOPs, and fragmented coordination across supply chain levels. Limited participatory planning mechanisms compounded these challenges.
GaneshAID responded with a structured combination: Mid-Level Manager (MLM) training delivered interactively, Master Trainer development for national scale-up, a co-developed National Vaccine and Cold Chain Handler's Handbook, and a costed Continuous Improvement Plan developed through a consultative workshop.
GaneshAID Support in Libya
MLM CCVM Training — Cold Chain and Vaccine Management
Highly interactive, participatory MLM training combining hands-on sessions (shake test, ice pack conditioning, temperature monitoring), scenario-based exercises, group work, case studies and a field visit. 34 mid-level managers trained. 12 Master Trainers selected and equipped for national cascade.
National Vaccine and Cold Chain Handler's Handbook
Co-developed with UNICEF and NCDC, providing contextualised SOPs and practical guidance on stock management, RTMS use and forecasting aligned with Libya's operational realities.
Continuous Improvement Plan (cIP)
A consultative workshop brought together immunisation programme stakeholders to review EVMA findings, define priority improvement actions and develop a costed multi-year cIP — an evidence-based roadmap for Libya's immunisation supply chain.
What changed as a result
Participants with lower baseline knowledge improved significantly (average gain +2.18 points), reducing knowledge disparities across the cohort
Strengthened understanding of SOPs and vaccine management principles — including corrective actions for temperature excursions
Master Trainer network established for sustainable national scale-up of cold chain capacity building
