People that Deliver is pleased to invite the submission of abstracts for the PtD Global Indaba in Bangkok, Thailand, to be held between 6-8 March, 2024.

The closing date for submissions is 31 October 2023.

We are looking for abstracts that fit in to one of two categories:

Evidence-based solutions with actual results

This is for abstracts that highlight programmatic results. We’d like to know about these results and ask, what’s next?

Future-focused solutions to transform health supply chains

Perhaps you’d like to draw attention to a new approach that hasn’t yet had the chance to yield results. We’d like to know why this is a solution that will transform supply chains and the potential results.

Whichever category your abstract fits into, it should fulfil the following criteria:

• It must align with the theme of the Global Indaba; it should focus on the supply chain workforce and offer a solution to transform health supply chains. Tell us what your solution is.
• The highlighted approach should be sustainable (eg. a programme that could yield results for years to come) and transferable to other geographical settings. Tell us what makes your solution sustainable.
• The focus of the abstract should fall within one or more of the four pathways of PtD’s Theory of change:
  • Staffing
  • Skills
  • Motivation
  • Working conditions

The PtD coalition particularly encourages the submission of abstracts that focus on health supply chain management in the following areas:

• Professionalisation
• Leadership and change management
• Motivation
• HR for emergency preparedness
• Working conditions
• Public-private collaborations
• Youth engagement
• Digitalisation
• Gender
• Disability
• Last mile

Presentations may be written and delivered in English or French. Abstract submitters will be contacted within a month following the deadline. All accepted abstracts will be published on the PtD website and possibly in a special issue journal of the conference proceedings.
